Postdoc in High Performance Energy Efficient Computing in Memrsitors - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Job description

The postdoc candidate will map complex high performance linear algebraic problems to Computation-In- Memristors. Part of the calculations of the model will be mapped in the crossbar using analog computations to fuse storage and computation to fundamentally overcome the von-Neumann bottleneck. The key challenges that the post-doc will address will be memristor device modelling, factoring in large space-time variations in memristor devices, full-custom circuit level design and mixed-signal design.

Supervision: The post-doc will be supervised by Prof. Ahmed Hemani

What we offer

• A position at a leading technical university that generates knowledge and skills for a sustainable future
• Engaged and ambitious colleagues along with a creative, international and dynamic working environment
• Works in Stockholm, in close proximity to nature
• Help to relocate and be settled in Sweden and at KTH
