About this role
Neuromorphic Computing Advisor - 32 to 40 hours - €4791 - €7786 Ready to explore the future of computing? In this role, you will lead the discovery of neuromorphic computing's potential for scientific research. You'll experiment with cutting-edge technology, build strong partnerships across the ecosystem, and translate insights into real impact. Where you will work SURF is the national ICT cooperative for research and education in the Netherlands. We provide the digital infrastructure, advanced computing capabilities, services and platforms that empower Dutch science - from high-performance computing and advanced networking to trusted data services. We don't just support research. We support researchers tackle the hardest problems in health, climate, energy, and beyond. The team you will join You'll work within SURF's Future Technologies & Applications team - a group that explores and experiments with cutting-edge technologies and assesses their impact for education and research. We drive strategic initiatives across the ecosystem, and we give our people the freedom to do the same. What you will do Neuromorphic computing is no longer a research topic, It's moving into practice and SURF intends to be at the frontier of what that means for national research infrastructure. We want to know where neuromorphic technology can add value and impact to Digital Infrastructure for Research, and where it can open up possibilities that simply weren't there before. We're looking for someone who thrives in that space. You will lead SURF's exploration of neuromorphic computing, with a sharp focus on value for scientific research, hands-on experimentation, and building the ecosystem around it. You bring curiosity and execution in equal measure: testing ideas, validating use cases, forging partnerships, and turning findings into insights for strategic direction. - Identify high-impact opportunities for neuromorphic computing across research domai...
