About this position
The George Washington University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher position within the NIST Professional Research Experience (PREP) program. The successful candidate will join the Fundamental Thermodynamics Group, focusing on the development of next-generation Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) based temperature sensors. This research aims to advance chip-scale metrology by designing, nanofabricating, characterizing, and packaging PIC devices, as well as developing on-chip photonic thermometers that serve as deployable primary temperature standards.
The position leverages the state-of-the-art NIST NanoFab cleanroom facility for device fabrication and involves significant data analysis and modeling to guide design improvements. Key research areas include photonic integrated circuits, thermodynamics, nanofabrication, integrated photonics, temperature sensors, and metrology. Candidates should have a Ph.D. in Natural Sciences, Engineering, or a related field, with strong experimental skills and hands-on experience in micro- or nanofabrication and integrated photonics design. Applicants with expertise in numerical simulations or device-level metrology are encouraged to apply. U.S. citizenship is strongly preferred.
This opportunity is ideal for photonics engineers passionate about redefining temperature realization through chip-scale technology. The position is supervised by Professor David Broniatowski, Professor of Engineering Management and Systems Engineering at George Washington University. Interested candidates should apply via the provided application link and ensure they meet all qualification requirements.
