Postdoctoral Fellow (PREP0004289)

Job description

Description PREP Research Associate: CHIPS Funded Project. This position is part of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Professional Research Experience Program (PREP). NIST recognizes that its research staff may want to collaborate with researchers at academic institutions on specific projects of mutual interest and, therefore, requires those institutions to be recipients of a PREP award. The PREP program involves staff from a wide range of backgrounds conducting scientific research across various fields. Individuals in this position will perform technical work supporting the collaboration's scientific research. Research Title: Integrated Photonics for Quantum Sensing The work will entail: We are looking for a postdoctoral scholar to design, fabricate, and/or test integrated photonics for one or more of the following application areas: This work will be highly collaborative with interactions spanning multiple labs across NIST. The postdoc will work with a team to carry out the design/fabricate/test workflow, where “design” entails simulating integrated photonic structures to estimate optical properties such as loss and dispersion, and creating GDS layouts of...
