Norway : Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Nanoelectronics

Position as postdoctoral research fellow (SKO 1352), available at The Department for Informatics

The Department of Informatics (IFI) is one of nine departments belonging to the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the University of Oslo. IFI is Norway’s largest university department for general education and research in Computer Science and related topics. You can read more about the Department here: http://www.ifi.uio.no. The Department has near 800 students on bachelor level, near 300 master students, and over 200 PhD students. The totall staff of the Department is close to 250 employees, about 150 of these are full time scientific positions: about 60 Professors and Associate Professors

The fellowship period is 3 years. Within the framework of the position duties may be assigned. No one can be appointed for more than one specified period at the same institution.

Job Description: The current postdoc project can be devided into three subfields: A) Development of higher-order open-loop Delta-Sigma modulators for sensor data conversion, including noise and energy optimization, linearization and integration of CMOS and MEMS sensors. B) Development of impulse radio (IR-UWB) wireless systems where both impulse radar and communication solutions are explored in silicon using new and innovative design paradigms, facilitating power efficient implementations in CMOS. The postdoc will participate in several ongoing subprojects (positioning, RFID, RF-camera), and skills in RF chip design is important. C) Development of sparse asynchronous pixel-event vision sensors, inspired by the operation principles of the human eye. Such sensor nodes should communicate by low capacity, low power wireless links using an IR-UWB protocol. The candidate must have competence within at least one of those subfields.
