博士-圣母大学-智能芯片设计-电路设计自动化

各位同学，大家好。我在圣母大学的实验组招收博士与博士后。研究方向主要是低功耗数模计算电路设计、智能芯片设计与电路设计自动化。非常希望能够招收到有扎实的电路基础和流片经验的同学，主要面对的是2022秋季及以后的学期。本实验室希望可以培养既拥有前沿芯片设计能力的实干家，也拥有广阔视野与研究深度的思考者。相信圣母大学的平台和本实验室的研究课题，都能帮助本实验室的学生在未来，无论是顶尖的科技公或者是科研院所，收获理想的职位。另外，我们系的博士都会由学院提供全额学费，而工资标准也非常高（比我在公立学校读博期间的工资高出30-40%），加上这里也是个非常宁静的小城市，物价水平不高，来到这里可以不需有经济压力，可以安心地做科研。有意者请发送简历到ncao@nd.edu。由于申请的同学比较多，请明确在邮件中注明你的知识和能力如何与我下列的描述的相关，否则很抱歉不会具体回复。

Description:
Our lab is looking forward to working with talented students and experienced research experts in the exciting fields of (1) hardware accelerators for AI and (2) AI-accelerated integrated circuit designs. I am actively recruiting (full scholarship) talented Ph.D. students and experienced PostDocs/visiting scholars for  Fall 2022. Expected candidates should have one of the following expertise:

(1) analog/mixed-signal/RF circuit designs of OpAmp, A/DAC, PLL, and so on;
(2) large end-to-end digital chip design from Verilog programming, logic synthesis, floor plan to place-n-route;
(3) hands-on experience with chip tape-out and testing.
(4) profound machine learning knowledge and extensive hands-on expereince with PyTorch

Knowledge of machine learning and expertise in programming is definitely a plus, but IC design background is highly recommended for application. Beyond the above requirements, PosdDoc will need additional expertise with independent research and student mentoring. (Due to the amount of applicants, please specify in details how your background fit the above requirements. The emails fail to address the issue may not receive response.)

Contact:
It definitely will help if you could email your up-to-date CV to ncao@nd.edu. If I find your background a good match, I will go ahead and arrange a remote interview. Those who provide specific examples in the email of how your expertise matches my prior and current work will give special considerations. My suggestion is to read my prior papers before sending out the email. For more information, please refer to www.ncao-nd.edu.
