Within the faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, and Computer Science (EEMCS), the department of Electrical Engineering (EE) is looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic Assistant/Associate Professor (f/m) in Advanced digital hardware.

In this position, you will focus your research on the gradual merge of analog- and digital design into a single design discipline. Digitally assisted analog design refers to the inclusion of digital processing elements within an analog design to boost performance of the analog circuit. On the other side, ‘analog accelerators’ as part of a digital circuit is an emerging field of research.

With the slowing down of Moore’s law, we need to find alternative computing architectures for improving performance and reducing energy consumption. This is why we want to invest in finding alternative digital hardware implementations to reinforce our basis in Advanced Computing Systems and strengthen the computing core of electronic systems.

The faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) comprises three disciplines that shape Information and Communication Technology. ICT is more than communication. In almost every product we use mathematics, electronics and computer technology and ICT now contributes to all of societies' activities. The faculty works together intensively with industrial partners and researchers in the Netherlands and abroad and conducts extensive research for external commissioning parties and funders. The research which enjoys a high profile both at home and internationally, has been accommodated in the multidisciplinary research institutes MESA+, CTIT and MIRA.
