#TRANSFORMINGTOMORROW: MAKE A DIFFERENCE WITH US.

IT:U is Austria‘s first public interdisciplinary university dedicated to digital transformation for the benefit of our society, economy and environment. Join us as a

Postdoctoral Researcher Embedded ML and Smart Sensors*

and contribute to cutting edge research combining embedded machine learning, signal processing, and smart sensing systems, with applications in autonomous robotics, drones, and space technologies.

Key research topics include:

• Embedded ML (Spiking and non-spiking network) with particular emphasis on attention-based models
• Neuromorphic computing and ML deployment on digital and neuromorphic processors
• TinyML and EdgeAI and ultra-low-power inference for resource-constrained systems
• Techniques such as quantization, pruning, knowledge distillation, and novel architectures beyond CNNs
• Real-time embedded signal processing for perception and decision-making

Additional responsibilities:

• Support and contribute to teaching activities and student supervision, including PhD students
• Assist in the coordination of lab activities
• Actively participate in the preparation of research proposals and grant applications
• Lead and co-author high-impact publications

Your background:

• PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
• Deep expertise in system-level design and the ability to develop functional hardware/software prototypes (PCB design is a plus)
• Strong knowledge of ML algorithms (including spiking networks) and compression techniques for real-time processing on embedded platforms
• Experience in hardware-software co-design for embedded and neuromorphic platforms
• Demonstrated ability to publish in top-tier IEEE journals and conferences (e.g., IEEE IoT Jorunal, IEEE Sensors Jorunal, CVPR, ICRA, IROS, NeurIPS, etc.)
• A strong publication track record is essential and should reflect your contributions to the field

What you can expect:

• Opportunity to collaborate on cutting edge prototypes and real-world demonstrators
• Strong academic and industrial network across robotics, embedded AI, and sensing technologies
• Unique opportunity to help build a new university
• Interdisciplinary research environment and state of the art infrastructure
• Free parking or Climate Ticket Austria (excellent public transport connection)
• Flexible working hours through a flextime model and the option for home office
