About this position
George Washington University, through the NIST Professional Research Experience Program (PREP), is recruiting a Post-Doctoral Fellow in Quantum Network Science and Timing Metrology at the NIST campus in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
This opportunity focuses on quantum network science, timing metrology, quantum synchronization, quantum internet, FPGA firmware, single-photon detection, and related experimental quantum technologies. The selected fellow will work on an active metropolitan quantum network testbed with multiple nodes and dark-fiber links, developing synchronization methods that can hold node jitter to sub-10 picosecond precision.
Core responsibilities include implementing and stress-testing synchronization protocols over real-world metropolitan fiber loops, programming FPGA-based digital logic for time-stamping single-photon arrivals, characterizing detectors and sources, and building Python/MATLAB automation tools for network control and synchronization management.
Applicants should have a Ph.D. in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Quantum Information Systems (QIS), or a closely aligned field. Strong hands-on FPGA experience is highly desired, along with laboratory automation skills in Python or MATLAB and a background in single-photon sources, detectors, and precision measurement.
The post does not mention a stipend amount, funding package, or application deadline. Interested candidates should use the provided application link and follow the instructions in the announcement.
Funding details
Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.
How to apply
Please submit your application including a cover letter, CV, academic transcripts, and contact information for two references. Applications should be sent via the online portal before the deadline.
