Job Description
The Application Specific Intelligent Computing (ASIC) Lab at USCβs Information Sciences Institute (USCβs ISI) invites applications for a post-doctoral position in Silicon Photonics, with a focus on advanced computing applications.
The selected candidate will contribute to the design, prototyping, and testing of photonic devices and circuits aimed at enabling next-generation computing architectures, such as optical in-memory computing. The role involves close collaboration with leading fabrication partners (e.g., GlobalFoundries, AIM Photonics), participation in multi-project wafer (MPW) tapeouts, and system-level experimental validation of fabricated prototypes. A strong drive for innovation is essential, as the work will push the boundaries of current photonic technologies and computing models.
**This is a one year appointment, with possibility of extension based on project funding and performance.**
