Assistant or Associate Professor, Digital Integrated Circuits and Systems
About this role
The Department of Electronics and Nanoengineering at Aalto University School of Electrical Engineering invites applications for a tenure-track professor position in Digital Integrated Circuits and Systems Design. The position may be filled at the Assistant or Associate Professor level.
We are looking for highly qualified academic candidates in the broad area of digital integrated circuit and system design. Relevant research focus areas include, but are not limited to, hardware accelerators for machine learning (ML), Artificial Intelligence (AI), neuromorphic computing, and digital signal processing; microprocessor technologies; hardware systems for signal processing; novel computer architecture implementations; Compute-in-Memory circuits, and digital system-on-chips (SoC) implementations. Demonstrated experience in digital systems (potentially including mixed-signal components) is considered highly desirable. We particularly value candidates with a record of high-impact publications in top-tier venues that are underpinned by silicon measurement results.
As a faculty member, you will complement and strengthen the department's existing expertise in integrated circuit design, which currently emphasises microwave engineering, analog, digital, mixed-signal circuits, and sensor interface electronics, by contributing fresh and bold new research ideas and perspectives. This position provides you with an excellent opportunity to conduct state-of-the-art, hands-on IC design research supported by modern technologies and excellent infrastructure, including IC measurement facilities spanning frequencies from DC to THz.
The successful candidate is expected to build a strong research area and is expected to address key challenges in advanced digital IC and systems design, such as energy and power efficiency, design methodologies that support long-term scalability, or other innovative approaches that contribute to sustainable evolution of ubiquitous and intelligent computing pla
