Job Description:

Neuromorphic computing is a way to perform computations with hardware that mimics the architecture of the brain. This project aims to explore and benchmark the potential of new neuromorphic hardware and algorithms for specific problems in quantum many-body physics. The project closely aligns with fundamental studies on ultrafast nanomagnetism and seeks to identify computational tasks that can be performed faster and more energy-efficiently using neuromorphic hardware. This research may lead to breaking existing computational barriers and facilitate new scientific discoveries. Although primarily fundamental, our long-term goal is to encourage the adoption of neuromorphic hardware for societal applications. As a postdoctoral researcher, you will receive training, collaborate with the Donders Institute for Neuroscience, SURF, and InfinityQ, publish in leading journals, and participate in national and international conferences and schools.

We seek excellent and highly motivated candidates with a PhD in Physics, Computational Science, or equivalent. Candidates with a strong background in computational condensed matter physics and AI/ML are especially encouraged to apply. Good communication skills, including fluency in English, are required.
