About this position
The PRIME @ NIST Research Experience is a broad, agency-wide research opportunity at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. It brings together researchers and participants across NIST so that applicants may be considered for projects in multiple laboratories and research areas through a single application.
Participants may work at NIST campuses in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and Boulder, Colorado, or at other NIST research sites, with limited remote participation possible. The program is designed around collaboration with a NIST mentor and hands-on work in a federal research environment focused on measurement science, standards, and technology.
Research projects may span advanced manufacturing, data science, biotechnology and biomanufacturing, chemistry and materials science, communications and wireless technologies, cybersecurity and privacy, physics and quantum information science, semiconductors and microelectronics, neutron science, mathematics and statistics, building and fire research, forensic science, and metrology and standards. The posting highlights a wide range of NIST research labs, including the Communications Technology Laboratory, Engineering Laboratory, Information Technology Laboratory, Material Measurement Laboratory, Physical Measurement Laboratory, NIST Center for Neutron Research, and Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology.
Under mentor guidance, participants collaborate on projects that match their background, use state-of-the-art measurement methods and computational tools, collect and analyze data, and communicate findings through reports, presentations, and sometimes publications. The experience also emphasizes professional development, including an Individual Development Plan, seminars, and broader engagement with NIST researchers and the scientific community.
The opportunity is open to a wide range of academic and professional levels, from students through postdoctoral associates, faculty, and established scientists, with appointments considered case by case.
