Senior researcher
The work will entail planning, development and performing research on electromagnetic field strength metrology, atom-based electromagnetic field sensors, atomic physics, E-field metrology, and quantum optics. The researcher will be responsible for performing calibrations of electromagnetic field sensors, developing uncertainty analyses, and developing novel devices and methods for electromagnetic field measurements. This will include developing laboratory experiments in Rydberg-atom spectroscopy for the purpose of developing new SI traceable measurement techniques for E-electromagnetic field and power sensors to define and measure radio-frequency field strength with application to fundamental field probe calibration research. Research will also include developing laboratory experiments to measure field strengths of communication signals, dynamic spectrum monitoring, and electromagnetic compatibility test methods and standards. The researcher will develop analytical models and laboratory experiments on weak field detection, blackbody detection, detection of radio-frequency electric field magnitude and phase, as well as application of squeezed light and other quantum optics applications. Researcher will be responsible for documenting results via reports, publications, standards organizations participation, and conference presentations.
