    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.

    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.
