Johns Hopkins, founded in 1876, is America's first research
university and home to nine world-class academic divisions working
together as one university.
Description
PREP Research AssociateThis position is part of the National Institute of Standards (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.
Project Plan: NIST has recently funded a new IMS program for
Doppler thermometry. In this program, electro-optic frequency combs
are employed to rapidly record the Doppler width of atomic
transitions in microfabricated vapor cells. This should provide a
deployable platform for primary thermometry while dramatically
reduced the existing arduous calibration chain associated with
thermometry calibrations.
The work will entail:
Key responsibilities will include but are not limited
to:
- Develop and apply optical frequency comb methods to optical
sensors
- These sensors will include both atomic vapors as well as
optomechanical sensors
- Processing the resulting interferograms to produce spectra
- Analyzing the resulting spectra
§ Presenting results at internal meetings, and occasional meetings
with external stakeholders.
§ Preparing manuscripts for publication in archival journals
§ Ensuring that results, protocols, software, and documentation
have been archived or otherwise transmitted to the larger
organization.
Qualifications
§ A PhD in physics, chemistry, or a related field
§ 3 years of relevant experience.
§ Familiarity with optics, fiber optic components, and
spectroscopy
§ Ability to process and analyze data in Python or MATLAB
§ Strong oral and written communication skills.
