Postdoctoral position in high-performance optical communications

Information about the project and the division
Chalmers University of Technology is launching the project Optical Interconnects for Harsh Computing Environments, a 5-year project funded by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research, and has a number of positions open for recruitment of PhD students and postdocs to the project. This position is a great opportunity for you as a postdoc to apply your scientific and technical skills as part of a multidisciplinary team of leading researchers at the interface of applications and science in areas with great importance for industry and society.

You will be part of the Division of Computer Engineering at Chalmers, which has strong research activities in computer architecture, embedded computing, computer networking, CMOS electronic design, and computer graphics. We are around 40 faculty, staff, and PhD students of a wide variety of nationalities. The working language at Chalmers is English.

Major responsibilities
Your role in the project is to lead research and development in driver electronics for the VCSEL links. You are expected to publish high-quality research papers and articles in cooperation with PhD students and other seniors in the project team. You will also take the lead in lab verification of drivers together with existing and future VCSEL technologies. The position will also include opportunities for teaching at undergraduate and graduate level, for working on proposal development, and for collaboration with our industrial partners. All of these tasks will be meritorious for future research positions in academia and/or industry.

Position summary
Full-time temporary employment. The position is limited to a maximum of two years (1+1).

Qualifications
To qualify for the position of postdoc, you must have a doctoral degree in Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics, or a closely related field; a topic area in optoelectronics is meritorious. The Phd degree should generally not be older than three years.

Qualifications also include design and lab experience with high-speed electronic and/or optoelectronic systems, including IC design from concept to layout and evaluation. Experience with ECAD tool chains and multi-project-chip tapeouts is meritorious, as is undergraduate teaching experience. Excellent presentation skills and English language skills are expected.

Swedish-language skilis are not a requirement, but Chalmers offers Swedish courses.
