The project addresses the increasing energy consumption associated with information and communication technologies and explores alternatives to conventional CMOS-based computing architectures.<\/p>\n<p>The team has developed a unique nanoelectromechanical resonator (NEMS) consisting of a silicon nitride drum capacitively coupled to an aluminium resonator drum, known as a double-drum resonator. This device provides frequency-comb sensing and computing functionalities within a single element.<\/p>\n<p>Previous work has demonstrated reservoir computing using an optomechanical microwave measurement system and the fabrication of coupled double-drum resonator networks. A simple reservoir computing function and artificial neural network training have already been demonstrated using a single nanomechanical device.<\/p>\n<p>The main objective of this postdoctoral project, supported by the IMITECH project, is to develop a reservoir computing function based on a network comprising two or more coupled double-drum NEMS resonators. The project will investigate the additional nonlinear complexity arising from coupled resonator networks and aims to contribute to new non-conventional computing architectures for future AI hardware.<\/p>\n<h3>Key Responsibilities<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Experimentally characterise different coupled silicon nitride nanoelectromechanical oscillators.<\/li>\n<li>Implement reservoir computing functions using FPGA programming.<\/li>\n<li>Develop multiphysics models through numerical simulations and analytical calculations.<\/li>\n<li>Analyse experimental and simulation data using programming languages such as Python and MATLAB.<\/li>\n<li>Investigate nonlinear dynamics in coupled NEMS resonator networks.<\/li>\n<li>Work with high-frequency measurement and characterization systems.<\/li>\n<li>Contribute to the supervision and monitoring of doctoral researchers within the team.<\/li>\n<li>Prepare research reports and scientific publications.<\/li>\n<li>Present research results at scientific conferences.<\/li>\n<li>Communicate research findings with project collaborators.<\/li>\n<li>Work independently while collaborating closely with the wider research team.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Required Qualifications<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>PhD, or expected PhD, in a relevant field.<\/li>\n<li>Background in engineering or fundamental research related to nonlinear dynamics, optomechanics or nanomechanics.<\/li>\n<li>Relevant doctoral expertise in areas such as nanomechanics, nanoelectromechanics, multiphysics modelling, optomechanics or high-frequency devices.<\/li>\n<li>Programming experience in Python or MATLAB.<\/li>\n<li>Basic knowledge of analogue and digital circuits.<\/li>\n<li>Experience with high-frequency characterisation techniques.<\/li>\n<li>Familiarity with equipment such as lock-in amplifiers, oscilloscopes or FPGAs.<\/li>\n<li>Good written and spoken English.<\/li>\n<li>Ability to work effectively within a research team while also working independently when required.<\/li>\n<li>Motivation to learn and broaden technical and scientific knowledge.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Preferred Qualifications<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Experience with nanoelectromechanical systems and nanomechanics.<\/li>\n<li>Experience in nonlinear dynamics.<\/li>\n<li>Experience with optomechanical systems.<\/li>\n<li>Experience with multiphysics numerical or analytical modelling.<\/li>\n<li>Experience with FPGA-based computing or reservoir computing.<\/li>\n<li>Experience with high-frequency electronics and device characterization.<\/li>\n<li>Knowledge of French is an advantage but is not mandatory.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Employment Details<\/h3>\n<p>The position is offered as a <strong>13-month fixed-term full-time contract<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Starting Date:<\/strong> 1 December 2026<\/p>\n<p>The research will be conducted at IEMN in Villeneuve-d&#8217;Ascq, near Lille, France.<\/p>\n<p>The recruited postdoctoral researcher will receive training and technical support from permanent CNRS researchers at IEMN.<\/p>\n<p>The position involves high-frequency measurements, with appropriate on-site training provided for the associated risks.<\/p>\n<h3>Salary &amp; Benefits<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Gross monthly salary for a beginning researcher: <strong>\u20ac3,071.50\u2013\u20ac3,501.51<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>44 days of annual leave and RTT.<\/li>\n<li>75% coverage of eligible transport costs.<\/li>\n<li>Sustainable mobility allowance of up to \u20ac300.<\/li>\n<li>Access to research platforms for reservoir computing and high-frequency NEMS characterization.<\/li>\n<li>Access to numerical simulation and multiphysics modelling environments.<\/li>\n<li>Technical training and support from IEMN researchers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Application Documents<\/h3>\n<p>Applications should be submitted through the CNRS employment portal.
