Postdoctoral research opportunities are available in developing integrated nanophotonic architectures and devices for realizing compact, efficient, accurate and dynamic quantum AMO systems-on-a-chip. We develop scalable, reconfigurable, and integrable nanophotonic technologies to interface with a broad range of AMO systems including atomic vapors, and ensembles and individual cooled and trapped atoms in free space near photonic chip surfaces. Interfaces are based on highly-customized planar nanophotonics technologies and optical metasurface technologies that are designed to provide all optical fields necessary for implementing the major types of AMO systems on chip, such as miniaturized stable wavelength references, optical atomic clocks, quantum sensors, Rydberg atom RF imaging probes, quantum memories, and others. Integrated photonics design, modeling and testing experience is necessary. Hands-on microfabrication experience and/or atomic physics knowledge is a plus but not required. Researchers will play an active role in defining research directions in a highly collaborative environment.
Postdoctoral research opportunities are immediately available, more senior research positions can be considered for highly qualified individuals. Appointment options through NIST or collaborating universities.

Instruments based on spectroscopy of atoms in the vapor phase, such as atomic clocks, atomic wavelength references, atom interferometers and atomic magnetometers, currently achieve outstanding levels of precision and sensitivity. However, most of these instruments are too large and complex to be operated easily outside the laboratory. Our group designs, builds and tests highly miniaturized versions of these instruments using innovative application of techniques of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). Postdoctoral and PhD student positions are available for topics across the atomic devices and instrumentation research programme.
