PhD Position in Mixed-Signal Circuit Design for Sense to Compute at Eindhoven University of Technology Eindhoven University of Technology in Netherlands

The NanoComputing Research Lab, led by Prof. Aida Todri-Sanial at the Eindhoven University of Technology, is offering a PhD position in mixed-signal circuit design for sense to compute applications. The research focuses on the design and implementation of Oscillatory Neural Networks (ONNs) for physics-based computing, leveraging the unique properties of coupled oscillators for efficient problem-solving and sensor data processing. The project is part of the prestigious NWO AiNED AI-on-ONN initiative, aiming to advance the sense to compute paradigm.

The successful candidate will join the Department of Electrical Engineering and work on analog circuit design, modeling, simulation, and benchmarking of ONNs, with responsibilities including experimental validation and collaboration within an interdisciplinary team. The position offers opportunities to publish in high-impact journals and present at international conferences. The research environment is dynamic, international, and closely connected to high-tech industry partners.

Applicants should have a master’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related field, with strong skills in mixed-signal circuit design, IC design tools (such as SPICE, Cadence, MATLAB), and a research-oriented mindset. Fluency in English and the ability to work collaboratively are essential. The position is fully funded for four years, with a competitive salary and comprehensive benefits, including support for international candidates. The application requires a cover letter, CV, transcripts, MSc thesis, and proof of English proficiency. The deadline for applications is February 5, 2026, and the position will remain open until filled. For more information, visit the official job posting or contact Prof. Aida Todri-Sanial.
