[CapoCaccia - announce] PhD and postdoc positions in accelerator design for computational neuroscience

[Mihai A. Petrovici]

Dear all,

apologies for cross-posting!

We are inviting applications for one PhD and one postdoc position in 
accelerator design for computational neuroscience and asynchronous 
digital hardware as part of a joint project between the Neuro-inspired 
Theory, Modeling and Applications (NeuroTMA) Lab led by Mihai A. 
Petrovici at the University of Bern, Switzerland, and the Asynchronous 
VLSI and Architecture (AVLSI) Lab led by Rajit Manohar at Yale 
University, USA.

The NeuroTMA Lab focuses on biologically inspired models of 
spatio-temporal processing in recurrent cortical networks and their 
relation to deep learning, Bayesian computing, and neuromorphic 
implementations. The AVLSI Lab conducts research on semantics, design 
methodologies, and architectures for asynchronous systems with the goal 
of designing and implementing efficient and programmable computation 
structures.

The project will develop an accelerator for the simulation of cortical 
models of processing and learning. You can find more details about the 
positions at

Please feel free to share with anyone else you think would be a good fit 
for these opportunities!

Best,
Jakob & Mihai
