Two full-time postdoc / associate positions on event-driven circuit research in Tokyo
by Shintaro Shiba 27 Apr '26

27 Apr '26

Dear Neuromorphs, (apologies for cross-posting) Our research group at the University of Tokyo, Japan, is looking for two full-time researchers in digital and analog-digital circuit designs. What you do: - Prototype with FPGA and then architect ASICs. - Develop next-generation, event-driven integrated circuits. Our primary focus is event-based cameras, but not limited to, such as audio sensors. - Collaborate with (i) event-based vision professors/researchers from CV/ML areas, (ii) AI accelerator professors/researchers from semicon areas, and (iii) robotics professors/researchers, aiming for the end-to-end application demonstration. What we offer: - Opportunities and budget to tape out your design from fabs in Japan and Taiwan. - Collaboration opportunities with our partner institutions in Europe and the US. - Competitive compensation. We welcome all levels (e.g., including senior levels), possible to start immediately. Visa is sponsored for overseas applicants. The maximum contract is four years, depending on the progress. Industry experience and/or future industrialization interest is also welcomed. (For industry-background applications, Ph.D. is optional.) Please find more details: https://www.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/hubfs/Careers/2026/0327/cr2025-145-0327-001en-0… Or directly apply from here: https://red-dune-010927100.6.azurestaticapps.net/ Or reach out to me for any questions. Thank you and best regards, Shintaro Shiba, Ph.D. Project Lecturer, Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Systems, The University of Tokyo.

neuromorphic / spiking neural network position starting Oct 2026 for 36 months
by Goodman, Dan 22 Apr '26

22 Apr '26

We are hiring for a research assistant or postdoc to do energy efficient AI, spiking neural networks and neuromorphic computing, with me, Christos Bouganis and George Constantinides at Imperial College London. Deadline for applications is May 15th. Feel free to email me informally, or apply at the link below. https://www.imperial.ac.uk/jobs/search-jobs/description/index.php?jobId=276… Some more details below (also at the link above). Dan Goodman About the role We are seeking a Research Assistant (a Masters graduate wanting to undertake a PhD) or Research Associate (a PhD graduate wanting to undertake a postdoc). Our aim is to explore new approaches to energy-efficient artificial intelligence based on temporal neural computation. The project investigates how spiking neural networks, temporal coding, and learned neural delays can enable accurate computation with extremely low-precision weights, potentially unlocking a new generation of ultra-efficient AI hardware. Working at the intersection of machine learning, computational neuroscience, and digital hardware design, the successful candidate will contribute to developing neural architectures in which time (spike timing and delays) replaces numerical precision and memory movement as the key computational resource. The project will combine algorithm development with hardware-aware modelling and evaluation on FPGA-based platforms. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to help define new approaches to temporal neural computation and energy-efficient AI. This role provides an exciting opportunity to work on fundamental questions in neuromorphic and energy-efficient AI, while developing techniques that could translate into future AI accelerators and edge-AI technologies. The role will be affiliated with NeuroWare, the new national Innovation and Knowledge Centre in Neuromorphic Computation, providing the post-holder access to a rich network of industrial and academic collaborators and routes to direct impact. Pre-doctoral candidates are strongly encouraged to apply. Candidates appointed as Research Assistant will have the opportunity to register for a PhD during the appointment, subject to standard university procedures. What you would be doing In this role, you will investigate neural architectures that exploit temporal coding and learned delays to enable efficient computation on digital hardware. You will develop and evaluate spiking neural network models, explore training methods for delay-based computation, and analyse how temporal representations trade off with weight precision and memory usage. You will primarily be collaborating with three Imperial College academics: Prof Christos Bouganis, Prof George A. Constantinides and Dr Dan Goodman, who each bring leading expertise relevant to this research programme. You will implement models in software frameworks for neural simulation and machine learning, and work with hardware-aware efficiency metrics to evaluate energy, memory, and latency trade-offs. The project will also involve exploring how these architectures map to digital hardware platforms, including FPGA-based systems.

[CALL FOR PAPERS] Special Session on perception at ICANN 2026
by Vittorio Fra 27 Feb '26

27 Feb '26

Dear Neuromorphs, we are pleased to share with you the call for papers of our Special Session "Perception Frontiers with Neuromorphic Methods" at the 35th International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks (ICANN), as the submission procedure is open! ICANN 2026 will take place in Padua (Italy) from 14 to 17 September 2026, and our Special Session targets perception through neuro-inspired approaches, at both the sensory and the processing level, for the formation of actionable knowledge through event-based sensing or computation. We welcome both theoretical and applied contributions, and you can find additional information, the list of topics and the deadlines on our website: https://vitf.github.io/perceptionfrontiers.github.io/ We look forward to receiving your papers! Vittorio Fra on behalf of the co-organizers Yulia Sandamirskaya, Jens Egholm Pedersen, Chiara Bartolozzi, Giulia D'Angelo, Claudio Gallicchio CALL FOR PAPERS of "Perception Frontiers with Neuromorphic Methods": Perception is the interface between sensing and knowledge, part of the process leading from stimulus acquisition to information handling. For animals, the nervous system processes signals from a distributed system of highly specialized peripheral sensors, collected into a single centralized brain. Consequently, as long as neuromorphic engineering, encompassing neuromorphic computing and Neuro-AI, aims to emulate, or draw inspiration from, the nervous system, a fundamental aspect to be considered is the interplay between peripheral sensing and central processing. Essential for perception, this is also a key aspect of knowledge formation for intelligent systems. Depending on the timescale required for action, perception triggers quick reaction or reasoning. Additionally, the different sensing modalities, i.e. tactile, visual or others, can define the actual interaction with the surrounding environment, leading to different ways of understanding or navigating the scene. This Special Session targets perception through neuro-inspired approaches at both the sensory and the processing level, focusing on the formation of actionable knowledge through event-based sensing or computation. Theoretical and application-oriented contributions are encouraged, in order to foster a comprehensive discussion on the results, strategies and prospects of bio-inspired perception.
