Job Summary

CU/NIST PREP has an exciting opportunity to further research into Rydberg atom systems and their applications to radio wave communications and quantum sensing. The postdoctoral scholar will complete experimental and theoretical work to advance the performance of Rydberg atom systems in the detection of electric fields. Experimental work will include designing, building, and troubleshooting laser, optical and electronic systems as well as operating RF and microwave equipment and developing data analysis software. Theoretical work will include developing and analyzing atomic models for Rydberg atoms and performing RF simulations.

This position is part of the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (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.

CU is an Equal Opportunity Employer and complies with all applicable federal, state, and local laws governing nondiscrimination in employment.

The particular group that needs a researcher is the Electromagnetic Fields Group at NIST.

What Your Key Responsibilities Will Be

Design and perform experiments to advance the performance of Rydberg atom electrometers and communications receivers.
Develop theoretical models of atomic systems and atomic sensors and compare with experimental measurements.
