Be Part of the Next Generation of Electronics

Join Our Neuromorphic Computing Research Team – Multiple Positions Available (Postdocs, Senior Researchers and Project technician)

We are looking for ambitious researchers and skilled technicians to join a bold five-year project developing energy-efficient, brain-inspired computing with cutting-edge GCMO memristor devices. Funded by Business Finland, this project brings together materials science, electronics engineering, and AI to create next-generation neuromorphic hardware for real-time signal processing, classification, and autonomous systems.

This is a unique chance to contribute to frontier research in a highly interdisciplinary environment, in a team recognized internationally for pioneering memristor technologies and neuromorphic computing.

Available Positions

  • Postdoctoral Researchers – 2 years initial + possible 3-year extension (pending positive midterm evaluation)
    We seek motivated postdocs to work on aspects such as:
    • Materials Physics: development of memristive synaptic crossbars and neurons, environmental testing, integration into proof-of-concept systems
    • Electronics Engineering: analog/mixed-signal design, neuromorphic front-ends, band-pass filters
    • Computer Science / AI: neuromorphic algorithms, machine learning, classifier development
  • Senior Researchers – fixed-term 5 years
    Experienced researchers with backgrounds in materials science, electronics, or neuromorphic computing will lead sub-projects, supervise postdocs, and drive international collaboration and dissemination.
  • Project Technician – 2 years initial + possible 3-year extension (pending positive midterm evaluation)
    Hands-on technicians will support the hardware development, including electronics prototyping, assembly, and testing of experimental setups. Experience with hobbyist electronics and mechanical manufacturing is a plus.

Why join us

  • Be part of an internationally recognized research group at the forefront of memristor technology
  • Work in a collaborative, interdisciplinary team spanning physics, electronics, and AI
  • Shape your own research directions within a supportive and inspiring environment
  • Access state-of-the-art laboratory infrastructure for thin-film fabrication, device integration, and characterization
  • Publish high-impact research and contribute to potential patents
  • Live and work in Turku, Finland – a vibrant city on the archipelago sea

We Are Looking For

  • Highly motivated individuals able to work independently and collaboratively
  • Strong communication skills in English
  • Interest in interdisciplinary collaboration across physics, electronics, and AI
  • Postdoctoral Researchers:
    • PhD in in physics, materials research, electronic engineering, automation, AI programming
    • Expertise in one or more: thin-film growth, micro/nano-fabrication, neuromorphic circuits, signal processing, electronics design, AI programming
  • Senior Researchers:
    • PhD and established track record in a relevant field
    • Ability to coordinate research efforts and mentor junior team members

We hire based on complementary competencies — your skills will help shape the final team composition.
