Postdoctoral Associate, Adam's Lab

Overview We are looking for a highly motivated researcher to work on memristive-based neuromorphic circuits. The Adaptive Devices and Microsystems lab at George Washington University conducts research in novel types of devices, circuits and hardware foundations for the next generation computing systems. Our research focuses on two-terminal non-volatile memory devices called memristors, which have electrical behavior similar to artificial synapses and promise easy integration in neuro-inspired processors. The postdoctoral researcher will work in a multi-disciplinary environment at the intersection between neuromorphic circuits and emerging devices. Relevant skills include mixed signal circuit design, device modeling, prototyping, programming, etc. The postdoctoral associate will participate in circuit design and device modeling efforts, planning and execution of electrical measurements and prototypes, data analysis and interpretation, contribute to funding reports and new proposal submissions, mentor students, publish results, and present findings at conferences. The candidate will be mentored by Dr. Adam and supported by an inclusive research environment, and professional development goals will be discussed and fostered throughout the postdoctoral period. The researcher will participate in tape-outs together with the PI and PhD students in the Adam's group and benefit from collaborations with U.S. national institutes and other academic partners. Minimum Qualifications Has, or will have by start date of the position, a Doctorate degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering or related. Desired Qualifications Relevant research/work experience and demonstrated competencies in analog / mixed-signal circuit design; Strong skills in utilizing electrical characterization equipment are needed; Strong skills in relevant technical software, such as Cadence, SPICE, Verilog, etc. are needed; Background knowledge in neural network algorithms preferred, but not required Collaborative skills, student mentorship skills, result oriented approach, initiative, organization, and capacity to work in an interdisciplinary environment; Demonstrated ability to generate new ideas, concepts, models and solutions; Track record of research dissemination including peer-reviewed publications; Excellent communication skills (oral, written, presentation). Proficient written and spoken English is mandatory.
