Postdoctoral researcher in Computer Science: Neuro-inspired Computing
About this role
We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher in Computer Science for a fixed-term position at the School of Science and Technology.
Subject area
The subject area for this position is Computer Science with a focus on Neuro-inspired Computing.
Background
A postdoctoral researcher will be affiliated with the Department of Computer Science within the School of Science and Technology and will carry on research within neuro-inspired computing and neuromorphic engineering. The specific areas of interest are hyperdimensional computing, vector symbolic architectures, reservoir computing, and associative memories. A key research direction will be the exploration of high-dimensional vector representations for building future intelligent systems. Particular emphasis will be placed on hardware realization including but not limited to emerging computing hardware such as neuromorphic chips and in-memory computing devices. The project supporting this position aims at expanding the algorithmic capabilities of intelligent systems, reducing their computational costs, and bridging the gap between hardware and algorithm design.
Duties and responsibilities
The appointment as a postdoctoral researcher is intended to enable persons who have recently been awarded their doctoral degree to consolidate and develop primarily their research skills. Besides consolidating their research and publication track, the postdocs may be required to contribute to the departmental duties (e.g., via teaching at the undergraduate or graduate level), up to 20 % of their time.
Requirements
- Those qualified for appointment as a postdoctoral researcher are applicants who at the time of appointment hold a doctoral degree or have a degree from abroad deemed to correspond to a doctoral degree. Applicants with doctoral degrees that have been awarded no more than 3 years prior to the application deadline are to be considered first. The applicant may not previously have held a position as a postdoctoral researcher
