The Faculty of Engineering Sciences and the Institute ofComputer Engineering (ZITI) at Heidelberg University inviteapplications for a Full Professorship (W3) in "Chip Design- (f/m/d)Heidelberg University is among Germany-s leading universities, withresearchers highly experienced in the design, fabrication, testing,and application of electronic microchips. To date, we have realizedmore than 250 different analogue, digital, and mixed-signal designswith applications spanning computer communication, neuromorphiccomputing, synchrotron and particle physics, medical physics,embedded FPGA design and more. The university and the institute aimto significantly strengthen and expand the field of chip design inthe near future. Our motivation for developing novel chips is verymuch driven by applications in other research fields, wherespecialized chips can enable advances in research. We like to moveaway from established paths, explore new, unconventional ideasbased on a solid understanding of established methods andapproaches. The successful candidate will strengthen and widen ourexpertise in the conception, design, and actual implementation ofelectronic chips. Having practical experience in the process ofdesign, tape-out, and test of a silicon microchip is a requirementfor this position. Experience with advanced technology nodes isdesirable. The research focus may be on analogue and/or digitaldesign. Heidelberg University offers many opportunities tocollaborate with other research groups for chip applications, e.g.in physics, life sciences, materials sciences, medicine, andmachine learning. Chip Design is also a focus of the Master-sprogram in Computer Engineering at the Faculty of EngineeringSciences. The appointee will contribute to this program and toexisting or new Bachelor-s programs in the Faculty of EngineeringSciences or the Faculty of Mathematics & Computer Science. Forscientific questions about the position, do not hesitate to contactProf. Dr. Johannes Schemmel(johannes.schemmel@ziti.uni-heidelberg.de). The appointmentrequires a university degree, an outstanding doctorate, pedagogicalaptitude which is usually proven by teaching experience, and, inaccordance with article 47 (2) of the Higher Education Law of thestate of Baden-Württemberg (LHG), a Habilitation, a successfullyevaluated junior professorship or equivalent qualifications, whichmay also have been obtained in the context of academic work inindustry.
