Now Recruiting: Postdoctoral Research Opportunities in Neuromorphic Computing

The UK Multidisciplinary Centre for Neuromorphic Computing is inviting expressions of interest for multiple Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) positions across leading UK universities. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research at the intersection of neuroscience, photonics, quantum systems, and artificial intelligence.

This national initiative brings together expertise from Aston University, University of Cambridge, and Loughborough University to advance next-generation neuromorphic technologies — systems inspired by the architecture and function of the human brain.

The following PDRA roles are currently open:

• Aston University – Professor David Saad - Apply now

Project: Inference, entropy and cross-communication in human cortical organoid arrays

Explore the fundamental principles of information processing and communication in organoid-based neural networks.

• Aston University – Professor Rhein Parri - Apply now

Project: Neuronal network activity and plasticity in human cortical organoids

Investigate the dynamic behaviour and adaptability of biological neural networks using advanced electrophysiological techniques.

• University of Cambridge – Professor Natalia Berloff - Apply now

Project: Hybrid quantum-photonic neuromorphic computing

Work at the frontier of physics and AI by developing hybrid computing platforms that combine quantum and photonic elements for neuromorphic applications.

• Loughborough University – Professor Paul Roach & Dr Eric Hill - Apply now

Project: Neural network fabrication and functional assessment

Focus on the engineering and evaluation of artificial neural systems for realistic modelling and computation.

These roles offer an exceptional environment for researchers seeking to shape the future of neuromorphic computing. The Centre provides a collaborative and multidisciplinary framework supported by world-class facilities and academic leadership.
