We are looking for a Postdoctoral 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

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