NRC POST-DOCTORAL OPPORTUNITIES

The National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) has many Post Doctoral Positions open. These are offered competitively through the National Research Council (NRC). Within our research areas we have many possible openings described at the NRC web sites listed below. We have about forty full time scientists specializing in the measurement and data methods in our extensive facilities including NSOM and other scanned probes, SEMs, SIMS/TOF-SIMS, Isotopic analysis, AEMs, Auger probes, MicroXRD/XRF, MicroRaman/IR, Synchrotron beam-line with grazing incidence XPS, Chemometrics, etc.

We develop and test new and improved measurement methods and we apply these methods to challenging analytical problems in a variety of areas including semiconductor and optoelectronic technology, particle characterization, materials science, environmental and earth science, etc.   If you have research ideas that would be related to the analytical approaches below and are looking for a Post Doc opportunity, please contact one of the group leaders or one of the advisors listed in the specific areas of interest below.

The NIST/NRC program offers a two-year Post Doc at an annual salary of approximately $55,700 with an additional $5,500 for research expenses. There are two application opportunities each year. The applications are due to the NRC by Feb. 1 and Aug. 1. The application includes a brief proposal and several recommendations.

A candidate must be a U.S. citizen and start work (with their PhD in hand) at NIST within 10 months of application [between July and Dec (Feb. application) or Jan and June (Aug. application)]. The program is restricted to those who have received their degree within the last five years.
