About this position

The George Washington University, in collaboration with the NIST Professional Research Experience Program (PREP), is offering a postdoctoral fellowship focused on advancing scalable quantum computing through Quantum Information Processing (QIP) with mixed species trapped ions. The position is based at the NIST campus in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and provides an opportunity to work alongside NIST permanent staff, fellow postdocs, and graduate students in a world-class experimental physics environment.

The research centers on implementing the foundational building blocks of scalable quantum information, with a strong emphasis on hands-on experimental work. Key responsibilities include upgrading existing quantum apparatus, planning and building new experimental components, implementing and evaluating complex experiments involving mixed-species trapped ions, and collaborating on the dissemination of results through high-impact journal publications and presentations at major international physics conferences.

Applicants should possess a Ph.D. in Physics or a closely related field, with demonstrated experience in experimental design and execution within an Atomic Physics laboratory. Technical expertise in laser technology and nonlinear frequency conversion is essential. The ideal candidate will have a collaborative spirit and be ready to contribute to a high-intensity, multi-generational research team. Eligibility for a Department of Commerce background check is required.

This postdoctoral opportunity is funded through the NIST PREP program, though specific details regarding stipend and benefits are not provided in the announcement. The position offers a unique chance to contribute to cutting-edge research in quantum information processing at one of the world's premier metrology and research institutions.

To apply, candidates should follow the application link provided and ensure they meet all eligibility requirements. The research group is led by Professor David Broniatowski at The George Washington University.
