Not funded by a EU programme Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? No Offer Description Research Position Openings at the University of Bologna (Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna) Join our research group PULP Platform to Accelerate AI & LLMs on RISC-V We are hiring motivated researchers to work on the acceleration of LoRa-based fine-tuning of DNNs/LLMs on RISC-V architectures in collaboration with Axelera AI. Why Join Us? Are you passionate about modern Large Language Models (LLMs), Vision Transformers, Deep Neural Networks (DNNs), and efficient fine-tuning of these models on resource-limited custom hardware? Join us in developing next generation software to fine-tune large AI models on RISC-V devices. We are currently working on a heterogeneous RISC-V vector processor cluster, enhanced with custom RISC-V matrix ISA extensions and need your research on software to unlock their full potential What You Will Work On: Efficient on-device LoRa-based fine-tuning of LLMs/DNNs FPGA-based prototyping of the RISC-V software stack for AI workloads Who Should Apply? If you have experience or strong interest in: AI/LLM optimized execution on powerful edge devices Low-level C programming for AI workloads If this sounds like your kind of challenge, let’s talk And if you know someone who’d be a great fit, feel free to share.
