The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Heidelberg University, Germany, invites applications for a<p class=""><big class=""><b class="">Full Professorship for Neuromorphic Computing (W3)</b></big></p><p class="">The position will be hosted at the Kirchhoff Institute for Physics.</p><p class="">We are searching for a scientist with a strong interest and
proven research record in the theoretical principles underlying
neuromorphic computation. Specific areas of research include, but are
not limited to computation with stochastic processes, mechanisms of
self-organization and learning, biophysical models of information
processing in neural cells and networks, multi-scale theories of neural
circuits, brain-inspired theories of machine learning and the
development of common approaches with the theory of complex
many-particle systems. A close collaboration with the existing
experimental group working on electronic implementations of neuromorphic
physical models in non-von Neumann computer architectures is expected.
The successful candidate will take an active role in establishing the
scientific program of the new European Institute for Neuromorphic
Computing (EINC), which will move into a dedicated building in 2020.</p><p class="">Heidelberg is a leading German research university offering a
thriving research community with ample opportunities for collaboration,
including the Institute for Theoretical Physics (ITP), the
Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing (IWR), the Institute
for Computer Engineering (ZITI), the Center for Quantum Dynamics (CQD),
the Center for Advanced Materials (CAM) and many others.</p><p class="">The successful candidate is expected to participate in the
bachelor and master teaching programs of the Department of Physics and
Astronomy in accordance with the usual University obligations.</p><p class="">Prerequisites for application are a university degree and (in
accordance with Article 47, paragraph 2 of the Higher Education Law of
the State of Baden-Württemberg) a Habilitation, a successfully evaluated
junior professorship or equivalent qualification. The University of
Heidelberg seeks to achieve a higher proportion of women in areas where
they have not been adequately represented so far. Women with the
required qualification are particularly encouraged to apply. Preference
will be given to disabled applicants with equal qualifications for the
position.</p><p class="">Qualified candidates are invited to submit their application
including CV, a list of publications, a list with teaching experience
and a research plan in electronic form (pdf) until <b class="">15.10.2018</b> to
the Dean, Prof. Dr. H.-C. Schultz-Coulon, Department of Physics and
Astronomy, Im Neuenheimer Feld 226, D-69120 Heidelberg
