University Professorship at KIT (W3) 'Computer Architecture“

Deine Aufgaben

• Research: Your research will focus on novel hardware architectures for artificial intelligence and machine learning, with applications in areas such as embedded systems, edge computing, and cloud computing. Central topics include specialized processor architectures and hardware accelerators that enable efficient, scalable, energy-efficient, and sustainable execution of AI algorithms. You will address challenges like co-designing hardware and AI algorithms, as well as issues in system integration, computational efficiency, and adaptability. As part of your work, you will establish collaborations both within and outside KIT, particularly with the Baden-Württemberg Graduate Center connAIx. Proactively initiating cooperative research projects is explicitly encouraged.
• Key focus areas: Potential research foci include e.g. domain-specific processor architectures for machine learning, hardware accelerators for training and inference of deep learning models, neuromorphic architectures and alternative computing paradigms, or the co-design of hardware and AI algorithms. Additionally, energy efficient and sustainable architectures for edge AI and embedded AI systems, reconfigurable computing for AI, hardware-software co-design and co-optimization for AI, near-/in-memory computing, and system architectures for integrating AI accelerators can be key areas of interest.
• Innovation and transfer: You will actively contribute to innovation and technology transfer, for example through collaborations with industry and application partners, the establishment of intellectual property protections, or the initiation of spin-off companies.
• Teaching: You will teach 9 semester hours per week in the Informatics bachelor's and master's programs. This includes contributing to mandatory teaching in the bachelor's program, particularly in Technical Informatics. Additionally, you actively participate in the interdisciplinary master's program in Chip Design.

With the university professorship, you will assume leadership of an organizational unit at the Institute for Technical Informatics (ITEC).

Dein Profil

• You possess outstanding academic qualifications and are internationally recognized as a leading figure in the field of 'Computer Architecture“.
• You stand out through your experience in leading a research chair and securing third-party funding, and you possess excellent didactic skills.

Employment is subject to Art. 14, par. (2) of the KIT Act in conjunction with Art. 47 LHG Baden-Württemberg (Act of Baden-Württemberg on Universities and Colleges).

Vergütung & Benefits
