Postdoc - Integrated, Neuromorphic-inspired

Combine your scientific interest and technical skills in the field of electrical engineering to create new knowledge for the socially and scientifically relevant areas of information, energy and bioeconomy. We offer you all of this at the Central Institute of Engineering, Electronics and Analytics - Electronic Systems (ZEA-2) with modelling, designing and developing the most innovative system solutions for science and society. In recent years, there has been a surge in research on novel computing architectures and artificial intelligence. This has led to the discovery of a completely new range of approaches to investigate highly efficient, low-power VLSI implementations using, among others: Neuromorphic-inspired computing, Innovative devices such as non-volatile, multilevel memristors, Computing-In-Memory (CIM), Content Addressable Memories (CAM), and Spiking Neural Networks (SNN).

**Your Job**:

- Identify areas where neuromorphic-inspired paradigms can be applied
- Develop concepts to integrate CMOS circuits with neuromorphic elements by custom analog, digital, or mixed-signal circuits
- Publish your findings in scientific journals and present your results at international conferences
- Supervise doctoral researchers and students
Explore new funding opportunities
-

Or, in other words, build up your own research field

**Your Profile**:

- Master degree and doctoral degree (PhD) in electrical engineering, physics, or similar fields
- Experience in the development of neuromorphic hardware implementations and a good overview of the field
- Knowledge of integrated CMOS circuit design is beneficial
- Ability to monitor and guide the developments of others relevant to your topic
- Experience with scientific publications and presentations
Good English skills
-

**Our Offer**:
We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change We support you in your work with:

- Opportunity to work on highly relevant engineering challenges with state of the art technologies
- Continuous scientific mentoring by your scientific advisor as well as a close integration in the international research group
- Work within one of the largest research centers in Europe
- Being involved in various steps of the development flow for an integrated circuit
- Excellent scientific and technical infrastructure
- Flexible working hours in a full-time position with the option of slightly reduced working hours and the possibility to partially work from home
- 30 days of annual leave and provision for days off between public holidays and weekends (e.g. between Christmas and New Year)
Targeted services for international employees, e.g. through our International Advisory Service

The position is for a fixed term of 3 years, with possible long-term prospects. Salary and social benefits will conform to the provisions of the Collective Agreement for the Public Service (TVöD-Bund) depending on the applicant’s qualifications and the precise nature of the tasks assigned to them.
