Postdoctoral Fellow (PREP0004018)
The American Ceramic Society, Gaithersburg, MD, United States
General Description
PREP Research Associate
This 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.
Research Physicist - Quantum magnetometry using photoelectrically detected magnetic resonance of NV centers in diamond
U.S. Citizen Preferred
Key responsibilities
Designing, integrating, testing, and operating instrumentation for performing optically detected and photoelectrically detected magnetic resonance sensing of diamond NV centers.
Develop scanning confocal microscopy, widefield microscopy, and bulk sensor instrumentation incorporating optical excitation and readout, electrical biasing, and microwave spin control.
Developing new and employing existing Bayesian algorithms for measurement efficiency and automation.
Numerical modelling of spin resonance dynamics for sensor development.
Presenting results at internal meetings, and occasional meetings with external stakeholders.
Ensuring that results, protocols, software, and documentation have been archived or otherwise transmitted to the larger organization.
Qualifications
Ph.D. in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, or a closely related field.
At least 2 years of relevant experience.
Experience in magnetic resonance/ODMR/EDMR of color center spins, including NV centers in diamond.
Experience with confocal microscopy, lasers, optical alignment, single photon counting, microwave electronics, and experimental design.
Familiarity with Bayesian experimental design and programming instrumental control.
Team-oriented and goal-driven, with strong written and oral communication skills.
Demonstrated ability to write and present research clearly and effectively.
Salary Range
The referenced salary range represents the minimum and maximum salaries for this position and is based on Johns Hopkins University's good faith belief at the time of posting. Not all candidates will be eligible for the upper end of the salary range. The actual compensation offered to the selected candidate may vary and will ultimately depend on multiple factors, which may include the successful candidate's geographic location, skills, work experience, internal equity, market conditions, education/training and other factors, as reasonably determined by the University.
Total Rewards
Johns Hopkins offers a total rewards package that supports our employees' health, life, career and retirement.
Equal Opportunity Employer
The Johns Hopkins University is committed to equal opportunity for its faculty, staff, and students. To that end, the university does not discriminate on the basis of sex, gender, marital status, pregnancy, race, color, ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, veteran status or other legally protected characteristic. The university is committed to providing qualified individuals access to all academic and employment programs, benefits and activities on the basis of demonstrated ability, performance and merit without regard to personal factors that are irrelevant to the program involved.
Background Checks
The successful candidate(s) for this position will be subject to a pre-employment background check including education verification.
