We are looking for aPostdoctoral Fellow to lead research on neuromorphic circuits and systems. The role will focus on experimentally designing and building circuits of crossbars and other architectures that can employ post‑CMOS devices and accelerate computing. Specifically, the project targets building accelerators for problems that are not efficiently handled by digital systems, such as AI training, real‑time optimization, etc.

Key Responsibilities:

• Defining detailed experimental steps.
• Conducting experiments
• Reporting of results in publications
• Presentations at major conferences

Job Requirements:

• PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or related field
• At least 3 years of relevant experiences in a similar role with hands‑on experience in experimental building and testing of circuits, including experience gained during PhD
• Familiarity with neuromorphic computing and AI models
• Good written and oral communication skills, with papers published in leading conferences or journals
• Entry level candidates are welcome to apply

We regret to inform you that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
