Job description
The Digital Society

Digital information technology is becoming ever more deeply and rapidly entrenched in our society. Extensive digitalisation is set to radically change practically all aspects of society, not only in the Netherlands but throughout the world.

The Netherlands is a compact, highly developed, well-organised country with excellent physical and digital infrastructures. The academic research conducted at our universities is of high quality across the board. Furthermore, our researchers are highly experienced in crossing the boundaries between disciplines and institutions. This unique combination of characteristics creates an equally unique opportunity for the Netherlands: to lead the world in the creation of effective connections between digital technology, people and their societies.

In the years ahead, Dutch universities will work together towards this common goal. They will further combine the existing wealth of research in this field and focus it on a clear, common profile. As a corollary of the National Science Agenda, Dutch universities want to invest in cutting-edge research together with other knowledge institutions, the business sector and the government.

Postdoc in Biomedical Optics, Biophotonics, Photonics or Optical Microscopy
SCHOOL OF ELECTRICAL, ELECTRONIC & COMPUTER ENGINEERING
UNIVERSITY OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA

Our projects are about inventing, engineering, operating and understanding complete systems, from new modes of imaging to optical and mechanical instrument design, to electronics, signal processing and real-time software generating big data, to working with medical researchers and biologists to understand the data. Imaging systems are being developed for clinical and biological collaborations, for example, in cancer detection, scar assessment and physiological studies of the human airway.

This position will be a key appointment in our research on advanced extensions of optical coherence tomography (OCT), largely polarisation-sensitive OCT, but also microscope-in-a-needle, OCT angiography and lymphangiography, OCT elastography and clinical OCT, with applications largely in imaging airways, but also in burn scars, and the eye.

We are seeking a researcher who can contribute to the polarisation-sensitive OCT in the airways project and more, and who is expert in at least one of the following: optical coherence tomography, optics experimentation, optical microscopy, optical design, signal processing, modelling and project management.

Postdoc on Architectures for In-Memory Computations, Department of Electrical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology

Job description
The classical Von Neumann computer architectures force data to be moved from a background memory to the processor's foreground memories before computations can be performed. Modern applications, e.g. from the domain of big data, do not fit well on these architectures. Typically their performance is hampered by the memory bottleneck (due to lack of memory bandwidth, too long memory latencies, little data reuse opportunities, etc.). Near memory computations have been proposed to partially address this bottleneck. The H2020 project MNEMOSENE takes this idea one step further. It will develop and demonstrate a new, ultra-low energy, computation-in-memory (CIM) based architecture, including simulation and compiler tools; so the computation will be as close as possible to the main memory.

Postdoc on Computer Vision Deep Learning Algorithms and Architectures, Department of Electrical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology

Job description
Since the introduction of deep learning (DL) techniques, the advances in video analytics are going in a rapid pace. Deep learning is based on neural networks comprising multiple layers of connected neurons that can be trained to classify input signals. In the domain of video analysis, this technique is used to detect, analyze, recognize, or classify objects. The deep neural network requires a tremendous amount of compute power and huge memory bandwidth. To satisfy these requirements advanced DL algorithms and architectures have to be developed which exploit parallel processing, in particular vector parallelism, specific accelerators, and advanced memory interfaces and memory hierarchy.
