About the position

We have a vacancy for a Postdoctoral fellow at Department of Electronic Systems http://www.ntnu.edu/ies

This fellowship is partly funded by the ongoing research project "Wireless In-body Sensor and Actuator Networks" awarded by the Research Council of Norway.

The Postdoc position is for maximum 2 years.

The position reports to Ilangko Balasingham and Snorre Aunet.

Job abstractJV_description

The goal of this project is to develop mixed-signal (analog / digital) scalable architectures for leadless pacemakers relying on multiple implants in the heart. Electrical activity in the heart should be measured and communicated wirelessly between implanted nodes as well as with off-body communications.
The primary objective are:
1) explore possibilities of implementing different functionalities for future, um scale leadless pacemakers. Such functionalities are sensors and their interfaces, signal processing circuitry, energy harvesters, actuators and wireless communication. This will include finding constraints with respect to for example space, power- and energy requirements.
2) Develop CMOS circuits based on measurements of heart activity such as digital signal processing circuitry and memory will be developed. Electronics controlling the pacing of the heart are also included in ciruitry that should be concidered. Core functionalities should be demonstrated and implemented in full custom integrated circuit designs. Its preferable to demonstrate functionality from laboratory measurements on prototyped ASICs.

Postdoc: Implantable nanoelectronics for leadless pacemakers.
The research project aims at developing micro/nanoscale electronics for leadless pacemakers that fit into an extremely small physically sized device, having sides in the range of of micro meters. Average power-consumption for the implants is likely to be in the nW range.

Prerequisites: PhD in electrical engineering with experience in full custom mixed signal integrated circuit design. This should include all stages of design, from specifications via simulations, chip layout, prototyping and test.

Qualification requirements

Postdoctoral fellow:

A postdoctoral research fellowship is a qualification position in which the main objective is qualification for further work in academic positions. Completed doctoral degree in electrical engineering, is a requirement for this position. This should include all stages of design, from specifications via simulations, chip layout, prototyping and test. Corresponding foreign doctoral degree recognized as equivalent to a Norwegian doctoral degree is required. 

Applicants who do not master a Scandinavian language must provide evidence of good written and spoken English language skills. The following tests can be used as documentation:

TOEFL, IELTS, Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English (CAE), or Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE). Minimum scores are:
- TOEFL: 600 (paper-based test), 92 (Internet-based test)
- IELTS: 6.5, with no section lower than 5.5 (only Academic IELTS test accepted)
- CAE/CPE: grade B or A.

Other qualifications:

-Theoretical and practical experience in analog integrated circuit design, including statistical simulations and chip layout.
- Knowledge and experience in digital design in abstraction levels of the design hierarchy from transistor-level and up to high level design    using  HDLs.
- Practical experience in engineering matter from design, development, and measurements. Hands-on integrated circuits and prototype design in nanoscale technologies.
- Experience in using IC design tools from Cadence, or similar vendors. This should experience in the design of circuit building blocks on the transistor level, simulation and layout.
- Programming skills.

Personal characteristics

• Good communication skills
• Good collaborative skills in cross-diciplinary groups
