Description

The electronic fluctuations in voltage and current in a normal conductor are a fundamental measure of thermodynamic temperature. The opportunity involves experimental investigations into advanced techniques in Johnson Noise Thermometry (JNT) as both an absolute method and a relative temperature scaling technique. The established uncertainty benchmark for absolute JNT is 12 ppm at the triple point of water, with more recent measurements achieving statistical uncertainties of 3 ppm. This research impacts the formulation of the new...

Grantor Contact InformationWeston Leo Tew, 301.975.4811Grantor Emailwtew@nist.govOther Grantor InformaitonThe 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.
