Postdoctoral Positions, Aarhus University, Denmark (2018)

At Aarhus University, Department of Engineering within integrated Circuits and Electronics Lab, we are hiring talented researchers in postdoc positions to work on an exciting project for recording and processing brain signals using a neuromorphic chip as a part of large interdisciplinary project. Within this project, we aim at developing a low-power small footprint multi-channel CMOS analog front-end for brain recording purposes. The designed chip will be tested both in-vitro and in-vivo. Hence, applicants are expected to expand their knowledge to the biomedical aspect of the work too. The postdoc will work closely with different research groups within this project. Therefore, they are expected to have strong communication skills for a fruitful teamwork.

The grant agreement is expected to be signed by all the partners in the project in 2018 with the possible project start of February 1st 2019. Employment is time limited to two years with the possibility of extension.

Tasks
You are expected to contribute to:
- Gain a thorough understanding of low-power design challenges in CMOS technology.
- Gain a deep understanding of the analog front-end circuits required to record a low-noise and clean signal from brain ready for processing.
- Design, simulate and fabricate and measure integrated chips used for brain signal recording in CMOS technology.

Qualifications
You are expected to have the following qualifications:
- A PhD degree in Electrical Engineering
- A solid background in Electronics and CMOS Integrated Circuit Design
- Experienced in CMOS fabrication and measurements
- Team working skills as this is an interdisciplinary project
- Good collaboration and communications skills
- Experience with biomedical instrumentation, recording and analysis of electrophysiological signals is an advantage but not required.
- Experience with EDA CAD tools for IC design (Virtuoso, HSPICE, etc.)
- PCB design (e.g. Allegro)
