About this position
Aarhus University in Denmark is hiring a Postdoctoral Researcher for a 2-year project on Adaptive and Distributed Foundation Model Inference across the Computing Continuum.
The research will address how large foundation models can become more efficient, scalable, and deployable across heterogeneous edge-cloud environments. Topics include distributed and collaborative foundation model inference, token and intermediate feature compression, Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) placement and scheduling, and resource-aware, communication-efficient inference optimization.
The successful candidate will join the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and have opportunities to pursue cutting-edge research, publish at leading venues, and collaborate with international academic and industrial partners through a Horizon Europe research project.
Applicants should have a PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline, together with strong expertise in deep learning and foundation models. Background in distributed systems or Edge AI is preferred. The position is located at Aarhus University, Denmark, with an expected start date of 1 March 2027. Applications are due by 6 December 2026.
