Postdoctoral Researcher

Overview

Researcher will develop a thermometer based on atomic fluorescence intensity ratios. This research
project will explore several novel and high-risk techniques for realizing a primary temperature
sensor in a compact package. This will require operating an locking multiple lasers to atomic
transitions, fiber optic design and operation, multilevel rate equation simulations, and careful
characterization of systematic effects.

Qualifications

• PhD in Physics or a related field
• Experience is required in two or more of the following areas: - frequency stabilization of laser systems - Python programming - temperature metrology - modeling population dynamics with a set of coupled rate equations

Research Proposal

Key responsibilities will include but are not limited to:

• Perform experimental tasks toward realizing a primary thermometer base on rubidium atoms
• Data analysis
• Disseminating project results via peer-reviewed publications and public presentations
