About this position

The George Washington University, in collaboration with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), is seeking a Research Associate for the Professional Research Experience (PREP) program. This hands-on metrology position focuses on supporting Dimensional Calibration Services at NIST, specifically involving the maintenance and calibration of NIST's Dimensional Reference Masters, such as gage blocks. The successful candidate will play a key role in ensuring the traceability of length measurements by performing critical calibrations and comparing results to historical data.

Key responsibilities include measuring NIST reference gage block masters and customer gages, learning and performing measurements using Optical Interferometry, acquiring and calibrating new reference masters, and handling, cleaning, and distributing gages to technical professionals. This role is ideal for early-career engineers or scientists passionate about precision measurement and maintaining industry standards.

Applicants should hold a B.S. in Science or Engineering and have at least 11 months of relevant experience, which may include internships or professional work. Familiarity with NIST gage block calibration methods and quality system requirements is essential. Candidates must also be eligible to obtain a Department of Commerce background check for facility access.

This opportunity offers direct experience with the nation's primary standards for length and the chance to work alongside leading experts in metrology and calibration. For more information and to apply, visit the provided application link.
