NIST Integrated Cavity Optomechanics

Due: May 1, 2025

$82,764

Description

Cavity optomechanics has been a powerful tool for investigating fundamental physics, including gravitational waves, quantum entanglement, and light-matter interactions. This research opportunity is focused on developing compact, integrated cavity optomechanical devices that push the state of the art in terms of sensitivity and accuracy for both practical and fundamental physical measurements. One area of interest is optomechanical sensing, where high displacement sensitivity and optomechanical interactions can be leveraged for ph...

Grantor Contact InformationJason J. Gorman, Phone: 301.975.3446Grantor Emailgorman@nist.govOther 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.
