About the Role

National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is the UK's National Metrology Institute, responsible for researching, creating, and delivering measurement infrastructure that underpins the UK's prosperity and quality of life across various industries.

We are seeking an experienced Senior Scientist to join our Optical Radiation Metrology Group in Teddington. The group spearheads global initiatives to improve the quality and reliability of measurement data for Earth observation and climate monitoring, providing precise and reliable SI-traceable data to industries where understanding optical radiometric quantities is crucial.

Key Responsibilities
  • Provide scientific leadership to the team working in optical radiation metrology areas, including low-temperature physics and cryogenic radiometry, predictable quantum efficiency detectors, absolute radiometry, and primary spectral responsivity.
  • Contribute to the scientific leadership of the group, helping scientists achieve maximum impact for the Earth observation and climate monitoring industries.
  • Deliver impactful, high-quality research and commercial services to agreed time, cost, and quality.
About You

You will be a highly experienced scientist with a good track record (minimum of 5 years) of working at a National Metrology Institute in the mentioned optical radiation metrology areas.

A key role will be to provide scientific leadership to the team, sharing knowledge across other aspects of the group's work. You will be comfortable leading aspects of the group's laboratory-based work, ensuring the use of best practice in scientific method, quality, and health and safety.

This role requires a relevant academic qualification to at least degree level, ideally Masters or PhD in an Engineering or Science subject.

Requirements
  • Commitment to Health, Safety, and Quality
  • Experience in leading teams of scientists, although not necessarily in a line management role
  • Strong laboratory-based skills
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Technical business development
  • Ability to define and deliver on scientific strategy
  • Strong problem definition and problem-solving skills
