Post doc and PhD positions in Quantum Bio-sensing and Bio-inspired computing (TU Berlin)

The newly formed Semiconductor and Microelectronic (SAM) group at Technische Universität Berlin (TU Berlin), Germany has three new open positions. All three projects involve the design of novel materials and devices, including spintronic, magnetic and quantum materials.

The overarching vision of our group is to design novel hardware to help understand and mimic biological intelligence. The group is led by Prof. Priyamvada Jadaun who is the Chair Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at TU Berlin. Prof. Jadaun also holds a Visiting Scholarship at University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) and an Affiliate position at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL). 

We are recruiting for the following three positions:

- PhD position in Bio-inspired Sensing and AI at the Edge (Computational)

The goal of this project is to develop advanced sensory and perception systems that mimic biological perception. Leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) at the Edge, the sensory systems will be imbued with intelligence, autonomous decision making, event-based sensing, energy-efficiency and low-latency. The project will target applications in healthcare and environmental monitoring.

- PhD position in Bio-inspired Neuromorphic Computing (Computational)

The goal of this project is to design hardware that mimics biological intelligence. Here, we will design novel nanoelectronic devices (e.g. ReRAMs, magnetic Domain Wall systems, Ferroelectric FETs and 2D devices) and leverage their complex physics to realize new types of learning algorithms found in the animal brain. The project will target applications in healthcare, environmental monitoring and/or robotics.

- Post doc position in Quantum Sensing for Non-invasive Brain Scanning (Computational + Experimental)

The goal of this project is to design novel quantum sensing technology for non-invasive brain scanning. Here, we will design and develop quantum magnetometers that can accurately sense miniscule magnetic fields and non-invasively scan the whole human brain, helping solve fundamental mysteries of neuroscience.

What we offer -

For passionate, self-motivated and creative researchers, these positions offer the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technologies that promise significant impact. The selected students will benefit from working in a young, energetic, growing, highly motivated and international team with a cordial and supportive culture. They will also get the opportunity conduct parts of the project at the University of California, Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA. In addition, the students will benefit from close collaborations with world-renowned research groups at Fraunhofer Society, Germany, TU Delft, Netherlands, Institute of Neuroinformatics, Zurich, EPFL, Lausanne, and UC Berkeley, USA.
