Design of Hybrid Nano-Optical Systems

Due: May 1, 2025

$100,000

Description

AFRL is investigating nano-optical devices, such as metamaterials and photonic crystals, to develop smaller optical systems and gain better control of a wide band of the electromagnetic spectrum. Our research interests involve developing novel devices utilizing, for example, spatially varying lattices, bio-inspired deformities in photonic crystals, plasmonic/photonic crystal sensors, and hybrid systems that combine metallic (plasmonic) and dielectric metasurfaces. We are seeking highly-motivated and dynamic researchers to work al...

Grantor Contact InformationJimmy E Touma, Phone: 850.333.8661Grantor Emailjimmy.touma.1@us.af.milOther Grantor InformationThe NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP) are prestigious postdoctoral and senior research awards designed to provide promising scientists and engineers with high-quality research opportunities at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.

Additional InformationLocation: Eglin Air Force Base, FL 32542. Advisers: Jimmy E Touma, Email: jimmy.touma.1@us.af.mil, Phone: 850.333.8661. Stipend base is $95,000 with a $5,000 travel allotment. Postdoctoral and Senior Associates will receive a higher stipend based on experience. Strong modeling and simulations background is required in programming languages such as C/C++, CUDA, Python, or Julia, or in commercial packages such as COMSOL or ANSYS HSFF. Knowledge of ray-tracing, optical systems design and characterization, and fabrication techniques such as multi-photon lithography are highly desired. Additional URLs:
