    Description

    Our world-leading department are seeking an experienced Scientist to develop some of the most innovative uses of ultra-precise measurements over optical fibre links.

    We are now working in a hybrid way, with a mix of remote and office working.

    We strive to offer a great work life balance - if you are looking for full time, part time or flexible options, we will try to make this work where business possible.

    This permanent, full-time position comes with a generous salary and benefits package.

    You'll enjoy collaborating with prominent Scientists and Engineers toconceive, design, build state-of-the-art ultra-stable setups to perform innovative tests on optical fibre systems and links.

    You'llenjoy sharing responsibility for thedevelopment ofresearch on applications of ultra-stable interferometry for a range of scientific and societal applications; such as

    • Earthquake and tsunami detection using seafloor cables
    • Ocean signal monitoring such as currents and tides
    • Distant atomic optical clock comparison over fibre links, including over intercontinental distances
    • Advanced laser stabilisation techniques

    NPL has pioneered sensing techniques for the using the existing undersea network of optical fibres and is looking at expanding the knowledge and applications of these techniques.

    T his roleprovidesexciting opportunitiestopublish your work in high-impact academic journals and present it at prestigious international conferences, contributing to a rapidly growing field of research.

    To be successful in this role, you will have the following skills, experience, and qualifications:


    Essential:

    Demonstrable laboratory experience - planning, designing and running optical experiments with the ability to identify problems, then propose and implement solutions.

    Experience with fibre optics.
    Practical and recent experience with laboratory electronics

    A PhD in a photonics-related subject (such as Fibre Optics, Optical Fibre Sensing, Laser Stabilisation, etc.) or equivalent experience.

    We may also consider strong candidates with a BSc in a relevant area (such as Physics or Engineering)

    Proven experience coding for experiment control and data analysis using one or more of these languages: LabVIEW, Python, C.

    Matlab or Mathematica
    Exceptional written and oral communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex technical concepts
    Team player with a proactive, never-fail attitude in the face of ambiguous situations


    Desirable:
    Practical knowledge of feedback systems (PID controls)
    Knowledge of frequency metrology concepts (frequency stability, Allan deviation, phase noise, etc...)
    OFDR / OTDR knowledge

    We actively recruit citizens of all backgrounds, but the nature of our work in specific departments means that nationality, residency and security requirements can be more tightly defined than others.

    You will be asked about this throughout the recruitment process. #J-18808-Ljbffr
