The University seeks to appoint a research associate with expertise on computational techniques in the Department of Computer Science to work on Skyrmionics for Neuromorphic Computing, including an interdisciplinary project between 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 on circuit-level and neural network-level simulations.
The candidate will conduct research related to emerging magnetic nanotechnologies in order 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, taking into consideration realistic operating conditions. Details for the post are found in the link below for the Further Particulars document which contains the person specification criteria.
The candidate will be part of the NeuroΣky 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 are active members of the National Graphene Institute (NGI), the Royce institute for advanced materials
The person appointed will need to demonstrate the following:
* Possession of or close to submitting a PhD degree in a relevant discipline (e.g. physics, computer science, electrical & electronic engineering)
* Has expertise and a strong interest in computational applied physics
* Has a strong interest in neuromorphic computing and Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs)
* Exhibits computational physics skills and familiarity with micromagnetics programs (e.g. mumax3, OOMMF or similar)
* Has experience of research in spintronics, magnetic materials and/or devices
* Exhibits data analysis skills and familiarity with standard scientific programs (e.g. Matlab, Origin, Mathematica or similar)
* Can demonstrate the ability to carry out research at a high level
* Has a high standard of communication skills, both written and oral
* Can demonstrate the ability to work both independently and as part of a team
