Job Title: Research Associate in Computational Skyrmionics for Neuromorphic Computing
Job Location: Manchester, UK
Job Location Type: Hybrid
Job Contract Type: Full-time
Job Seniority Level: Entry level
The University seeks to appoint a research associate with expertise in computational techniques in the Department of Computer Science to work on Skyrmionics for Neuromorphic Computing. This is an interdisciplinary project involving Manchester, CNRS, Thales, AUTh, and Eurida.
The post is relevant to candidates with computational skills, such as micromagnetic and atomistic simulations, with a strong interest in circuit-level and neural network-level simulations. The candidate will conduct research related to emerging magnetic nanotechnologies to enable computing hardware for brain-inspired computing. In particular, the candidate will work towards the development of skyrmionics-based neuromorphic components, such as nanosynaptic devices, considering realistic operating conditions.
The candidate will be part of the Skyrmionics team and will be hosted by the Nano Engineering and Spintronic Technologies (NEST) group. The NEST group is a vibrant community of interdisciplinary researchers working on a variety of topics including spintronics, magnetic data storage, nano-technology applications, numerical modelling, and simulation. The group is an active member of the National Graphene Institute (NGI) and the Royce Institute for advanced materials.
As an equal opportunities employer, we welcome applicants from all sections of the community regardless of age, sex, gender (or gender identity), ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, and transgender status. All appointments are made on merit.
Our University is positive about flexible working. Blended working arrangements may be considered.
