A Research Associate position is available on COVERT (“Safe and secure COncurrent programming for adVancEd aRchiTectures”), an EPSRC-funded project investigating the safety and security of advanced hardware architectures. The project brings together researchers at Sheffield, Kent and Surrey, alongside academic, industrial and governmental partners including ARM, Galois, Defence Science and Technology (DST), and the Universities of Amsterdam, Augsburg, Melbourne and Oldenburg. Based in Sheffield’s School of Computer Science, the post holder will work with Professor John Derrick (principal investigator), Professor Andrei Popescu (co-investigator), and the wider COVERT team. Modern hardware architectures increasingly combine complex execution and memory technologies, including out-of-order and speculative execution, weak memory and non-volatile memory. These advances can break assumptions traditionally relied upon by programmers, introducing subtle safety bugs and security vulnerabilities. Concurrent systems are particularly challenging: even well-synchronised programs and algorithms satisfying established correctness criteria such as linearisability may remain vulnerable to security attacks. COVERT aims to develop reusable models, tools and verification techniques for safety and security across advanced architectures, together with verified concurrency abstractions that balance trustworthy behaviour with performance. The project combines foundational theory, architecture-aware threat models and correctness criteria with practical verification tools, litmus tests and concurrency libraries. Theory and case studies will be mechanised in the Isabelle proof assistant, using examples from MITRE, the Folly concurrency library and industrial partners. We seek a highly motivated researcher keen to collaborate on groundbreaking verification research and publish in leading conferences and journals. • Perform research in the project's areas of interest: formal modelling and verification of safety and security properties for advanced hardware architectures., • Create and adapt any necessary software to do the above., • Engage the industry partners (e.g., at ARM) to aid the deployment of verification solutions., • Publish in high-quality outlets (high-profile and reputable conferences and journals), prepare detailed research reports where appropriate (eg as formal project deliverables), and communicate our results to non-academic or non-verification specialist audiences as required, eg to project-wide workshops., • Plan work to meet project deliverables and be appropriately prepared for supervision and project meetings., • Carry out administrative roles as required, eg coordinating meetings across various sites., • Participate in the general collaborative working of the Foundtions of Computation group, eg to present to the group, participate in its seminar meetings, engage in its training events, and demonstrate research to visitors etc., • As a member of staff you will be encouraged to make ethical decisions in your role, embedding the University sustainability strategy into your working activities wherever possible., • Contribute to the development of further research proposals., • Carry out other duties, commensurate with the grade and remit of the post Our diverse community of staff and students recognises the unique abilities, backgrounds, and beliefs of all.

CHIMES² - the Centre for Heterogeneous Integrated MicroElectronic and Semiconductor Systems - is one of the UK's national semiconductor research-translation programmes, a £16.3M Innovation and Knowledge Centre led by the University of Sheffield. We are appointing a Research and Innovation Fellow in Manufacturing Pathways, Test and Supply Chain to its CTO Office. This is not a conventional postdoctoral research post. Its core is landscape analysis and roadmap intelligence - reading the international state of the art in packaging, test and supply chain, identifying the gaps the UK must close, and turning that into the knowledge infrastructure a national programme runs on. A research theme of your own is developed alongside that work, not instead of it. This post focuses on the physical' layer of heterogeneous integration - the realisation of system architecture into physical package configurations, assembly processes and manufacturable implementations. This spans back-end physical implementation (place-and-route, physical verification, DRC/LVS across heterogeneous stacks, timing closure under packaging parasitics), advanced packaging architecture selection (2.5D, 3D, hybrid bonding, fan-out), manufacturing pathway management, known-good-die test strategy, and the UK and global supply chain for heterogeneous integration. We are advertising two paired CTO Office posts in parallel: this post in Manufacturing Pathways, Test and Supply Chain (the physical layer) and a companion post in Systems Architecture and Design (the logical layer). The logical-to-physical handoff - where system partitioning decisions are handed from architectural intent to physical realisation - is the primary interface between the two posts, and both post holders are expected to develop working familiarity with each other's domain. Candidates whose interests span both layers are welcome to apply for both; please indicate this in your cover letter. You will join the Microelectronics and Integrated Semiconductor Systems Team within the Quantum and Semiconductor Systems (QSS) Group - one of the UK's largest and most successful semiconductor research environments. The Team hosts Sheffield's leadership role for CHIMES², which brings together partner universities including Cambridge, Oxford, Edinburgh, Manchester, Newcastle, Strathclyde, Queen's University Belfast and King's College London, alongside the Science and Technology Facilities Council. Industrial partners include, among others, Imec, Arm, Pragmatic, Cadence, Synopsys and Siemens EDA. The CTO Office sits at the centre of the programme's technical intelligence function; you will collaborate closely with the newly established CHIMES² engineering cohort, though the CTO Office and the engineering team are distinct functions. • It is a national-programme intelligence role. You will lead landscape and roadmap work that directly shapes CHIMES² research priorities, demonstrator projects, and the Design Commons - work with reach across the UK ecosystem, not confined to a single lab., • It is a deliberate platform to launch from. The post is designed to let you build a visible, fundable independent research identity and the track record to launch it - whether toward a research fellowship (RAEng, UKRI FLF, MSCA, ERC Starting), a first permanent academic appointment, or a senior role in the national semiconductor ecosystem. The four-year term gives genuine room to figure out which of those is right for you and to become competitive for it., • You will be a named representative of CHIMES² externally - at IMAPS, IEEE ECTC, TechWorks DESN and equivalent forums - and a named author on Design Commons white papers, capability maps and policy briefings produced from your work., • Advanced packaging architectures - 2.5D silicon interposer, 3D hybrid bonding, fan-out WLP/PLP, glass interposers - and their physical-design implications., • Back-end EDA and physical implementation for multi-die stacks - place-and-route, cross-die DRC/LVS, packaging parasitics extraction, packaging-aware timing and signal/power-integrity sign-off., • Known-good-die test methodology and its relationship to physical implementation; reliability, qualification and manufacturing yield., • The UK and global supply chain for HI - OSAT and foundry pathways, compound-semiconductor assembly and its interface with silicon back-end processes., • Sustainability, lifecycle assessment and embodied‑carbon modelling applied to packaging and assembly. All four cross-cutting constraints - design-for-test (DfT), design-for-power-delivery (DfP), design-for-security (DfS) and design-for-thermal-extraction (DfTh) - span the logical‑physical boundary, and both post holders are expected to develop working familiarity with them regardless of primary domain. No candidate need span all areas. Strong credibility in one area of advanced packaging, semiconductor test, back-end physical implementation, or supply‑chain analysis is the core requirement; depth in one or more of the complementary areas above is welcomed. We particularly welcome applicants whose work has bridged from adjacent backgrounds - materials, devices, sensors, photonics, RF, power electronics (GaN/SiC), or board‑level integration - into packaging, assembly, test and integration work. To be clear, the focus is on the systems‑and‑integration direction; candidates whose current work is still on the device‑physics or process side are out of scope for this post, as that capability is well covered elsewhere in the QSS Group, through CHIMES² partners (notably Imec), and through national semiconductor programmes. • Lead WP1 Activities: Direct structured landscape analyses mapping integrator needs for maturing‑TRL devices, circuits, and interposers across back‑end EDA capability, advanced packaging architectures, and manufacturing transitions., • Maintain CHIMES² Roadmaps: Develop physical implementation and manufacturing roadmaps (EDA gaps, known‑good‑die test, reliability, yield) benchmarked against IEEE HIR, EU APECS, DARPA NGMM, JEDEC, IPC, SEMI, and EDA vendor roadmaps (Siemens, Synopsys, Cadence)., • Analyze Heterogeneous Integration (HI) Gaps: Evaluate HI EDA gaps (cross‑die timing closure, DfT test access, DfP/backside power delivery, DfTh thermal extraction, and tamper‑evident physical security)., • Logical‑to‑Physical Handoff: Perform gap analysis where physical execution fails architectural intent (parasitic extraction, packaging‑aware sign‑off) to inform Design Commons guidance., • Represent & Network: Act as CHIMES² ambassador at global forums (iMAPS, IEEE ECTC, TechWorks DESN), engaging OSATs, foundries, EDA vendors, standards bodies (UCIe), and UK agencies (CSA Catapult, NEF, NPL)., • Policy & Strategy: Contribute technical intelligence to government consultations, policy briefings, Advisory Boards, and companion RIF initiatives., • Programme Synthesis: Work across domain‑specific CHIMES² leads to aggregate research college inputs into coherent roadmap assets, collaborating with the companion RIF on logical‑to‑physical handoff methodologies., • Internal Integration: Partner with the Sheffield engineering team to feed demonstrator programs, support skills‑building, and synthesize research into unified roadmap assets., • Deliverables & Guidance: Author Design Commons white papers, capability maps, and WP3 demonstrator briefs aligned with international benchmarks (SRC JUMP 2.0, EU Chips JU)., • Independent Research: Establish a high‑impact research theme in heterogeneous integration to build toward future fellowship or academic applications., • Academic Output: Co‑author peer‑reviewed publications, present at major conferences, and contribute domain intelligence to secure future funding extensions., • Independent Research: Establish a CHIMES²‑aligned research theme in heterogeneous integration, endorsed by the Director, to form the basis for future fellowship or first‑academic‑post applications., • Publishing & Authorship: Serve as named author on Design Commons assets and policy briefings, developing them into peer‑reviewed outputs and conference presentations., • Academic Translation: Collaborate with Co‑Investigators and PDRAs to keep landscape work grounded in research frontiers and contribute intelligence to future funding applications and extensions., • Carry out other duties, commensurate with the grade and remit of the post Our community welcomes diverse backgrounds and experiences. We particularly encourage applications from researchers in their first postdoctoral position, and from researchers in a second postdoctoral role who would prefer a post of this kind to moving directly to a lectureship and from candidates whose work has bridged from adjacent backgrounds (materials, devices, sensors, photonics, RF, quantum hardware, FPGA, embedded systems, or high‑speed PCB / board‑level integration) into circuit, system and integration work. Even if your past experience doesn't match perfectly with this role's criteria, your contribution is valuable and we encourage you to apply. Please ensure that you reference the application criteria in your application statement. • Technical credibility in the physical implementation, advanced packaging, test or supply‑chain domain (the primary shortlisting filter)., • Ability to synthesise and communicate complex technical intelligence to specialist and non‑specialist audiences (the primary differentiator at interview, alongside technical depth)., • A credible, articulated independent research vision that intersects with CHIMES²'s mission., • Ability to work across academic and industrial environments and to represent a national programme externally. The full criteria are listed in the table below. No candidate need span all areas: we are looking for strength in the core domain competence plus depth in one or more of the named complementary areas. • Requirement: Hold or be close to completing a PhD in electrical and electronic engineering, materials science (with strong systems‑level context), manufacturing engineering or a closely related discipline with demonstrable expertise in one or more of: advanced packaging or semiconductor assembly; chiplet‑or wafer‑level test; semiconductor supply‑chain analysis; reliability and qualification; or HI manufacturing processes.

Job Title: Research Associate - Heterogeneous Integration: Systems Architecture and Design Posting Start Date: 18/09/2026 Job Id: 3155 School/Department: Electrical & Electronic Engineering Work Arrangement: Full Time (Hybrid) Contract Type: Fixed-term Salary per annum (£): £38,784.00 - £47,389.00 Closing Date: 01/11/2026 The University of Sheffield is a remarkable place to work. Our people are at the heart of everything we do. Their diverse backgrounds, abilities and beliefs make Sheffield a world-class university. We offer a fantastic range of benefits including a highly competitive annual leave entitlement (with the ability to purchase more), a generous pensions scheme, flexible working opportunities, a commitment to your development and wellbeing, a wide range of retail discounts, and much more. Find out more about our benefits (opens in a new window) and join us to become part of something special. CHIMES² — the Centre for Heterogeneous Integrated MicroElectronic and Semiconductor Systems — is one of the UK’s national semiconductor research-translation programmes, a £16.3M Innovation and Knowledge Centre led by the University of Sheffield. We are appointing a Research and Innovation Fellow in Systems Architecture and Design to its CTO Office. This is not a conventional postdoctoral research post. Its core is landscape analysis and roadmap intelligence — reading the international state of the art in system architecture, chiplet partitioning and front-end design, identifying the gaps the UK must close, and turning that into the knowledge infrastructure a national programme runs on. A research theme of your own is developed alongside that work, not instead of it. This post focuses on the ‘logical’ layer of heterogeneous integration — partitioning a system into functional chiplets and dies, specifying cross-die interfaces, and establishing the system-level architecture that determines what is integrated, how it is interconnected, and what performance, power and security properties the assembled system must deliver. This spans system-technology co-optimisation (STCO/XTCO), front-end design automation (RTL, logic synthesis, architectural exploration, floor planning, partition-aware EDA flows), chiplet interconnect standards (UCIe, CXL, die-to-die PHY), and the open Design Commons methodology CHIMES² is building as its core knowledge infrastructure. We are advertising two paired CTO Office posts in parallel: in Systems Architecture and Design (the logical layer) and a companion post in Manufacturing Pathways, Test and Supply Chain (the physical layer). The logical-to-physical handoff — where system partitioning decisions are handed from architectural intent to physical realisation — is the primary interface between the two posts, and both post holders are expected to develop working familiarity with each other’s domain. Candidates whose interests span both layers are welcome to apply for both; please indicate this in your cover letter. You will join the Microelectronics and Integrated Semiconductor Systems Team within the Quantum and Semiconductor Systems (QSS) Group — one of the UK’s largest and most successful semiconductor research environments. The Team hosts Sheffield’s leadership role for CHIMES², which brings together partner universities including Cambridge, Oxford, Edinburgh, Manchester, Newcastle, Strathclyde, Queen’s University Belfast and King’s College London, alongside the Science and Technology Facilities Council. Industrial partners include, among others, Imec, Arm, Pragmatic, Cadence, Synopsys and Siemens EDA. The CTO Office sits at the centre of the programme’s technical intelligence function; you will collaborate closely with the newly established CHIMES² engineering cohort, though the CTO Office and the engineering team are distinct functions. • It is a national-programme intelligence role. You will lead landscape and roadmap work that directly shapes CHIMES² research priorities, demonstrator projects, and the Design Commons — work with reach across the UK ecosystem, not confined to a single lab., • It is a deliberate platform to launch from. The post is designed to let you build a visible, fundable independent research identity and the track record to launch it — whether toward a research fellowship (RAEng, UKRI FLF, MSCA, ERC Starting), a first permanent academic appointment, or a senior role in the national semiconductor ecosystem. The four-year term gives genuine room to figure out which of those is right for you and to become competitive for it., • You will be a named representative of CHIMES² externally — at IMAPS, IEEE ECTC, DATE, Hot Chips, TechWorks DESN and equivalent forums — and a named author on Design Commons white papers, capability maps and policy briefings produced from your work., • System partitioning and chiplet decomposition methodologies; cross-die interface specification frameworks., • System-technology co-optimisation (STCO/XTCO) and mission-aware partitioning under power, thermal and security constraints., • Front-end and system-level EDA for multi-die design — partition-aware synthesis, architectural exploration, system-level floor planning, cross-die timing, die-to-die interface IP., • Chiplet interconnect standards (UCIe, CXL, die-to-die PHY) and interoperability frameworks (3Dblox, OIF)., • Open Design Commons infrastructure and open-source EDA / RISC-V IP ecosystems. All four cross-cutting constraints — design-for-test (DfT), design-for-power-delivery (DfP), design-for-security (DfS) and design-for-thermal-extraction (DfTh) — span the logical-physical boundary, and both post holders are expected to develop working familiarity with them regardless of primary domain. No candidate need span all areas. Strong credibility in logical systems architecture and front-end design is the core requirement; depth in one or more of the complementary areas above is welcomed. We particularly welcome applicants whose work has bridged from adjacent backgrounds — computer architecture, embedded systems, FPGA-based research, accelerator or hardware-software co-design, low-power or sensor or quantum-hardware systems, or high-speed PCB / board-level integration — into circuit, system and integration work. To be clear, the focus is on the systems-and-integration direction; candidates whose current work is still on the device-physics or process side are out of scope for this post, as that capability is well covered elsewhere in the QSS Group, through CHIMES² partners (notably Imec), and through national semiconductor programmes. • Lead the WP1 logical systems architecture domain landscape activities — structured analysis of the needs of integrators and of those seeking to integrate maturing-TRL device, circuit or interposer propositions — covering system partitioning, chiplet decomposition, cross-die interface specification, and STCO/XTCO approaches across the UK and international HI community., • Develop and maintain CHIMES² roadmaps for the logical architecture and front-end design domain, cross-referencing international roadmap assets including IEEE HIR, EU APECS, DARPA CHIPS/NGMM, SRC JUMP 2.0, imec STCO, and interoperability standards (UCIe / 3Dblox / OIF / CXL)., • Analyse front-end EDA tool gaps for heterogeneous integration — partition‑aware synthesis, multi‑die timing closure, DfT insertion at the chiplet boundary, DfS architectural patterns, power‑intent specification across dies (UPF/CPF), and thermal‑aware floorplanning., • Conduct structured gap analysis identifying integration‑specific design challenges underserved by current UK and international R&D, particularly in multi‑vendor chiplet EDA flows, STCO, and open Design Commons infrastructure., • Represent CHIMES² at national and international events and policy forums (IMAPS, IEEE ECTC, TechWorks DESN, DATE, Hot Chips and equivalent), and build relationships across the design, EDA, foundry/OSAT and standards communities (IEEE, JEDEC, IPC, SEMI, UCIe Consortium)., • Contribute technical intelligence to CHIMES² business and policy development — government consultation responses, policy briefings, and the programme’s strategic positioning — and communicate landscape findings to the Advisory and Technical Advisory Boards., • Work collaboratively with domain‑specific PDRAs recruited by CHIMES² Co‑Investigators, aggregating contributions across the research college into coherent programme‑level roadmap assets, and collaborate with the companion RIF on the logical‑to‑physical handoff methodology., • Work closely with the CHIMES² Sheffield engineering team, contributing CTO Office intelligence to Design Commons and demonstrator delivery and to the programme’s skills‑building activities., • Lead the development of Design Commons white papers, capability maps and curated landscape reports in your domain, translating complex technical and ecosystem intelligence into outputs accessible to both technical and policy audiences., • Apply and help shape the CHIMES² roadmapping methodology (technology roadmapping, systems thinking, gap analysis), ensuring outputs align with international benchmarks (IEEE HIR, EU Chips JU, DARPA NGMM, SRC JUMP 2.0)., • Contribute to co‑created WP3 demonstrator project briefs and to Annual Reports, milestone deliverables and Flexible Funding call documentation., • Develop an independent research theme arising from your landscape and roadmap work, with protected time agreed in the workplan at appointment and signed off by the CHIMES² Director. This theme is expected to intersect with CHIMES²’s heterogeneous‑integration mission and to form the basis of future fellowship or first‑academic‑post applications., • Be a named author on CHIMES² Design Commons white papers, capability maps and policy briefings, supported to develop these into peer‑reviewed outputs and conference presentations., • Collaborate with Co‑Investigators and PDRAs to keep landscape work grounded in current research frontiers, and contribute to future funding applications and programme extensions., • Carry out other duties, commensurate with the grade and remit of the post Our community welcomes diverse backgrounds and experiences. We particularly encourage applications from researchers in their first postdoctoral position, and from researchers in a second postdoctoral role who would prefer a post of this kind to moving directly to a lectureship and from candidates whose work has bridged from adjacent backgrounds (materials, devices, sensors, photonics, RF, quantum hardware, FPGA, embedded systems, or high‑speed PCB / board‑level integration) into circuit, system and integration work. Even if your past experience doesn’t match perfectly with this role’s criteria, your contribution is valuable and we encourage you to apply. Please ensure that you reference the application criteria in your application statement. • Technical credibility in the logical systems architecture and front‑end design domain (the primary shortlisting filter)., • Ability to synthesise and communicate complex technical intelligence to specialist and non‑specialist audiences (the primary differentiator at interview, alongside technical depth)., • A credible, articulated independent research vision that intersects with CHIMES²’s mission., • Ability to work across academic and industrial environments and to represent a national programme externally. The full criteria are listed in the table below. No candidate need span all areas: we are looking for strength in the core domain competence plus depth in one or more of the named complementary areas. 7 Grade 7: £38,784-£47,389 Full time; Hybrid and flexible working options considered Fixed term for 48 months (4 years) from start date Professor John Goodenough, CHIMES² Director / PI If you do not currently hold the right to work in the UK, you can find more information here to help determine your visa eligibility.
