Open positions for Research Assistants or Post-Doctoral researchers in the Green IC group (Green Resilient Energy-Efficient Nanoscale Integrated Circuits) Positions are available for top and highly motivated students or talented engineers from the industry who are interested in joining our new Green IC research group as full-time Ph.D. graduate students or Post-docs, starting in July 2013. Upon agreement and availability of positions, the starting date can be postponed. For admission as Ph.D. students, preference will be given to those who have a Master’s degree on a relevant discipline, but exceptionally talented students with Bachelor degree can also apply. Candidate’s talent should be complemented by a strong passion for innovation and desire to have an impact on people’s lives through technology. Admitted researchers will have opportunities to carry out leading-edge research in an environment that encourages the development of solid foundations (think) and project-based collaborative learning (build). The implementation of innovative ideas is supported with state-of-the-art equipment and computing resources, as well as intense cross-disciplinary collaboration. Admitted researchers will work on new ideas and build integrated circuits in cutting-edge technologies down to 22 nanometers, and will be involved into intense collaboration with leading institutions in academia and industry (UCBerkeley, UMich, EPFL, Intel, STM, among the others). The Green IC group focuses on four fundamental energy-centric research thrusts:  energy-autonomous systems and wireless sensors with nearly perpetual operation (including ultralow power analog interfaces, digital processing, power management), for biomedical applications, distributed surveillance, smart cities, smart buildings, structural monitoring, and many others  error-resilient near-threshold VLSI circuits and systems for 10X improvement in energy efficiency for mobile applications (both error-free and error-aware computing are of interest)  circuit- to system-level techniques to enhance the energy efficiency of high-speed VLSI circuits to enable continued performance enhancements under a tight power budget  circuit and system integration with emerging and post-CMOS technologies for green computing. The Green IC group is part of the ECE department of the National University of Singapore (NUS), a leading global university centered in Asia. According to QS World, in 2012 NUS is ranked 11th worldwide in Engineering & Technology - Electrical Engineering. It is located in the heart of Singapore, geographic and technology focal point in Asia, with a well renowned technology ecosystem and fast-growing economy.
