A new PhD position in VLSItest at the Poznań University of Technology

A PhD scholarship provided bySiemens

We are seeking to recruit aPhD student to work on testing of semiconductor digital integrated circuits.You will join the team led by Prof. Janusz Rajski of Siemens Digital IndustriesSoftware (Wilsonville, OR, USA), and Prof. Jerzy Tyszer in the Faculty ofComputing and Telecommunications at the Poznań University of Technology(Poland). You should have a Master degree (or near completion) in computer engineering,computer science, electronics, telecommunications, or closely-related subjects.In particular, experience and excellent knowledge of software engineering anddigital logic design are highly desirable. To successfully complete thedeliverables of the project, the candidate will need to be highly motivatedwith good communication skills, and the ability to interact and work closely withfellow team members and developers, located both in the US and in Poland. Youshould therefore be enthusiastic about the discipline and committed with anaptitude for independent working as well as working as part of a diverse,interdisciplinary team.

What is it like to study a PhD in VLSI test? 

Working under the guidance of an expert supervisory team, you will worktowards completing a thesis making original contributions to the field of electronictesting of digital circuits and systems. Your research will involvecollaboration with industrial partners. You will also have the opportunity toconnect with a professional community through attending internationalconferences and publishing papers. You will likely divide your time between studyingscholarly literature, researching new ideas, developing software, runningexperiments, attending supervision meetings, and finally writing a thesis. As apart of departmental training, you will attend and participate in lectures andtutorials offered by a 4-year PhD program at the doctoral school of the PoznańUniversity of Technology in areas such as research methodologies andpresentation skills.

Possible PhD research areasinclude: 

• Testing of VLSI designs

• Hardware security

• Data mining for fault diagnosis

• Artificial intelligence/machinelearning

• Cloud computing

PhD fundingoptions 

The main body funding PhD studies in Poland is the Ministry of Science andHigher Education. As being enrolled in the doctoral school, your PhD project willhave funding attached, meaning that you will automatically be awarded a livingcost stipend.
