Are you a machine leaning researcher who would like to develop applications of neuromorphic computing? If so, we invite you to apply for this exciting Postdoctoral position.
We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team working at the frontier of neuromorphic engineering. The postdoc will lead efforts to apply neuromorphic computing to extracting physical information from acoustic and electromagnetic signals using machine leaning and signal processing. This position offers an opportunity to collaborate closely with experimental scientists – using neuromorphic models with experimental feedback. We seek a post graduate researcher with strong neuromorphic processing for acoustic and electromagnetic signals. Theoretically we will explore expressivity of spiking neural networks, which classes received signal that can be used with neuromorphic hardware. In implementation we might explore neuromorphic intermediate representation, to perform processing directly hardware.
Responsibilities and qualifications
- Publish high-quality research articles. Present findings at international conferences, and actively participate in knowledge exchange in machine leaning and signal processing.
- Develop, implement, and validate machine learning models to predict and optimize materials performance under various environmental conditions.
- Collaborate closely with experimental researchers to integrate computational findings with network sensing of acoustic and electromagnetic signals
As a formal qualification, you must hold a PhD in Computer Science.
Besides, the candidate should have:
- Strong track record of publications in peer-reviewed journals, showcasing the ability to carry out high-quality, independent research.
- Fluency in Python, including experience writing data analysis scripts and model training code. Experience with scientific computing and data libraries (NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn, etc.). Hands-on knowledge of deep learning libraries (PyTorch, TensorFlow). An extensive list of contribution to the community on, e.g., Github.
