Thank you for your interest in joining us at the Institute of Machine Learning and Neural Computation at TU Graz.

Open PostDoc Position: Spiking Neural Networks for Wireless Communication Systems

We have an open postdoctoral researcher position focused on developing energy-efficient solutions using spiking neural networks (SNNs) for wireless communication systems. 🧠📡🔋

The successful candidate will contribute to cutting-edge research at the intersection of neuromorphic computing and wireless technologies, in particular by designing novel learning algorithms for SNN-based energy-efficient neural receivers. Candidates are required to have a PhD degree in computer science, artificial intelligence, electrical engineering, or similar. A strong background and research experience with spiking neural networks and deep learning are expected.

The position will be jointly supervised by Ozan Özdenizci and Robert Legenstein, and it is funded for 2 years in cooperation with Huawei Technologies Sweden AB. Please check here for details on how to apply.

Starting date: October 2025

Open PhD Positions

I am hiring two PhD students with a research focus on safe, robust and resource-efficient machine learning. 🧠💻

The candidates will work on novel resource-efficient deep learning algorithms and architectures, with a focus on improving the reliability, safety, and resilience of AI systems. These positions will be engaged in one or more of the following areas: adversarial machine learning, privacy-preserving AI, efficient generative deep learning, hardware-centric learning for neural networks. The ideal candidates should have strong scientific drive, good programming skills (particularly in PyTorch or Jax), as well as evidence for excellent prior performance as a student. An interest in collaborating within a multidisciplinary team is necessary due to the project’s interdisciplinary nature.

Positions are funded by the Austrian Science Fund within the Cluster of Excellence Bilateral AI, and candidates will be working in collaboration with our partner institutes JKU Linz, AAU Klagenfurt, ISTA, TU Vienna, and WU Vienna.
