The division is renowned for designing secure, dependable, and high-performance computer and communication systems, addressing the needs of a digital and interconnected world.

This postdoc will contribute to the European research project DARE, which aims to make Europe self-sufficient in developing computer technology for high performance computing and artificial intelligence. The research focus is on on-chip memory systems, including coherent caches and network-on-chip technologies. The position offers opportunities to develop architectural concepts, supervise master’s and doctoral students, and engage in teaching at undergraduate and master’s levels.

Applicants must have a doctoral degree (or equivalent foreign degree) in Computer Architecture or a closely related field, completed by the time of employment decision. Strong written and verbal English communication skills and experience with cycle-level architectural simulation are mandatory. Teaching experience and demonstrated research potential are expected. Preference is given to candidates who obtained their doctoral degree within the last three years and those with industrial experience in computer systems development. Physical presence in Gothenburg is required throughout the employment, and a valid residence permit must be presented by the start date.
