In the coming years, multi-billion investments will be made in large projects in Northern Sweden to create a fossil-free society both nationally and globally. Luleå University of Technology is involved in several of these cutting-edge research projects and in the societal transformation that they entail. We offer a broad range of courses and study programmes to match the skills in demand. We hope that you will help us to build the sustainable companies and societies of the future.The research subject Communication and Computation Systems (DCC - Dependable Communication and Computation Systems) at the Department of Computer Science at Luleå University of Technology is now looking for a Senior Research Engineer.
DCC conducts research on algorithms, data structures, computational models, and software engineering for the development of resource-efficient, distributed, and intelligent systems with applications in future digital infrastructure. The subject also has special responsibility for didactic development in the foundations of computer science.
Subject Description
The research subject focuses on an integrated development of network architectures, resource efficient algorithms, and programming paradigms for enabling an application-tailored design of dependable communication and computation systems.
Project Description
Research within DCC is primarily focused on modern computer technologies, such as system design and validation of industrial control and automation systems, simulation and verification, neuromorphic computer architectures, and communication.
You will work in the project "Vector Symbolic Architectures as an Algebraic Programming Language for Neuromorphic Computers", funded by the Swedish Research Council. The project runs during the period 2023-2027.
Your task will be to conduct research in the field of hyperdimensional computing and vector symbolic architectures and contribute research results to the aforementioned project.
Duties
In this project, we will base our original methods on the mathematical framework of hyperdimensional computing and vector symbolic architectures (VSA).
As a Senior Research Engineer, you will:
• Implement, optimize, and run simulation code in Matlab and Python.
• Develop lab assignments for upcoming courses in Safe AI and Knowledge Representation and Reasoning.
• Contribute to the execution of planned experiments.
The position mainly involves research-related work in one of DCC's most important areas. As a Senior Research Engineer, you will contribute to research, publications, and educational activities.
Qualifications
To be eligible for the position as Senior Research Engineer, you must have a Master of Science degree in Computer Science with a specialization in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.
We are looking for someone with knowledge of:
• High-dimensional random representation spaces
• Hyperdimensional computing (also known as vector symbolic architectures)
• Fundamental methods in machine learning
