PhD Position in Integrated and Printed Circuit Design for Sustainable Ubiquitous Electronics

This three-year doctoral position is part of the GAIA project, a European initiative focused on designing transient and biodegradable electronics for a sustainable Internet of Things. The successful candidate will work within the Inria-AIO team in Paris, in collaboration with a multidisciplinary consortium of experts in telecommunications, embedded systems, and printed electronics. The role involves designing and characterizing ultra-low-power processors and radio components using both traditional silicon CMOS and biodegradable printed electronics, as well as developing proof-of-concept prototypes. The PhD student will contribute to state-of-the-art research, publish findings in academic journals, and present work at international conferences, culminating in a doctoral thesis.
