Postdoctoral Fellow (PREP0004375)

Job description

Description PREP Research Associate: This position is part of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Professional Research Experience (PREP) program. NIST recognizes that its research staff may wish to collaborate with researchers at academic institutions on specific projects of mutual interest, thus requires that such institutions must be the recipient of a PREP award. The PREP program requires staff from a wide range of backgrounds to work on scientific research in many areas. Employees in this position will perform technical work that underpins the scientific research of the collaboration. Research Title: Researcher in Optical Properties of Materials The work will entail: The Sensor Science Division at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking a researcher to advance the understanding and measurement of optical properties of materials. This role emphasizes developing innovative, high-accuracy methods to characterize how materials interact with light—through reflectance, transmittance, and bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF)—across the ultraviolet, visible, and short-wave infrared spectral regions. The researcher wi...
