Open Position in Brain-Inspired Computing

The ZJU-UIUC Center for HeterogeneouslY integrated BRain InspireD computing (HYBRID), part of the ZJU-UIUC Dynamic Research Enterprise for Multidisciplinary Engineering Science (DREMES), is seeking a postdoctoral research fellow for a full-time position in brain-inspired computing. Zhejiang University, ranked among the top three universities in China, offers this opportunity.

Project Background and Aim:

The research focuses on developing next-generation computing approaches inspired by neuroscience advancements. Examples include neural information theory, spiking neural networks, quantum devices mimicking brain functions, new computer architectures based on neuronal structures, and heterogeneous integration techniques. The ideal candidate may have degrees in electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, physics, or mathematics.

Eligibility:

Candidates should hold a Ph.D. in electrical engineering or a related field. Experience in both theoretical and computational methods (coding in in language like Python, MATLAB, C, FORTRAN, JULIA, or any standard scientific computing package) is essential. Experimental experience is also encouraged. Familiarity with computational methods and mathematical modeling is required. While knowledge on neuroscience is desirable, it is not mandatory; supervisors will provide guidance for those not familiar with the field.

Research Environment:

The research group and facilities are based at the ZJU-UIUC Institute in Haining, Zhejiang. The Institute, a collaboration between Zhejiang University and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, is situated on the newly constructed International Campus of Zhejiang University. Haining is a well-organized and affordable town in the eastern suburbs of Hangzhou, with metro access to the city center and within a 1.5-hour drive from Shanghai. The group has convenient access to large supercomputing clusters and mainframes, as well as advanced experimental tools in electromagnetics, nanoscience, and materials science, including clean rooms for microfabrication, Raman spectroscopy, STM, and other modern physical and electronic libraries and databases.

General Requirements:

- Applicants should be under 35 years old.

- Ph.D. degrees from domestic C9 universities, “A+” disciplines of the fourth round of national discipline assessment by the China Academic Degrees & Graduate Education Development Center, or top overseas universities are highly appreciated.

- Applicants should demonstrate excellent academic performance and research capability, be diligent, active, responsible, and possess a good spirit of teamwork.

- Fluent spoken English and excellent English writing skills are necessary.

Compensation and Living Environment:

Successful candidates will be offered an annual salary package ranging between 240,000 and 440,000 CNY, along with subsidized housing.

Contact:

Interested candidates should send their CVs to Prof. Said Mikki (smikki@illinois.edu) and Prof. Shurun Tan (srtan@intl.zju.edu.cn).
