In this role, you will be disseminating your expertise in your subject matter to a large audience of COMSOL customers and colleagues.
* Provide personalized product demonstrations of the COMSOL Multiphysics software to potential and existing customers. In this role, you will work with the global Sales department.
* Provide technical feedback on new software functionality to the Development department.
* Present webinars covering specialized modeling topics that are broadcast to our worldwide audience of COMSOL Multiphysics users and potential users. In this role, you will work with the Marketing department.
* Occasional travel (customer visits, COMSOL Days, workshops, courses, and conferences) to present on and teach new and existing users about the software and how to use it.

Requirements

Note: As part of your application, include a short presentation (~5-10 slides) that provides a brief overview of your work in your area of expertise. This presentation can be a conference proceeding, technical talk, or an excerpt from your PhD work that gives insight into what you have worked on.

* PhD in engineering or physical sciences or industry experience with using COMSOL Multiphysics.
* Demonstrated experience with computational modeling.
* Willingness to travel (5-10% of each month).
