Multiple Openings for Post-Doc, Research Assistant and PhD student in 
Neuromorphic, In-memory computing IC design using SRAM/RRAM (application to 
LSTM/SNN for Keyword spotting)

There are multiple openings for Post-doc, Research Assistant and PhD students 
for a new project on In-memory Computing in the group of Professor Arindam 
Basu, Department of Electrical Engineering, City University of Hong Kong.
The focus of the project will be on in-memory computing implementations of 
neuromorphic algorithms for the application of LSTM/SNN for Keyword spotting 
using SRAM with extension to RRAM. In particular, novel In-memory ADC for 
nonlinear functions will be designed to push the state of the art.

The candidate should have experience in doing analog/mixed-signal IC design 
with preference for experience in memory design. For Post-doctoral positions, 
experience with IC tapeout and measurement is a must. The maximum monthly 
salary allowance is HK$20,000 for research talents with a bachelor degree, 
HK$23,000 for those with a master degree, and HK$35,000(+10,000$ living 
allowance) for those with a doctoral degree.

Exceptional candidates can also be involved in other In-memory computing 
systems for the following applications: (1) Signal processing and compression 
in Brain-machine interfaces (2) Processing event-based video from Dynamic 
Vision Sensors in Autonomous driving. Candidates will get an opportunity to 
work on cutting-edge research with recent papers from the group published in 
top conferences like A-SSCC 2021, CICC 2022 and top journals like JSSC.
