Postdoc in Neuromorphic Computing and Acoustic Sensing DTU Electro

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 toextracting 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 focus on neuromorphic processing foracoustic and electromagnetic signals.Theoretically we will exploreexpressivity of spiking neural networks which classes of received signal that can be used with neuromorphic implementation we might explore using neuromorphic hardware to perform processing of acoustic signals directly on hardware.

Responsibilities

• Publish high-quality research articles. Present findings at international conferences for machine learning and actively participate in knowledge exchange in machine learning 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

Qualifications
As a formal qualification you must hold a PhD in Computer Science or related field.

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
