Teddington, Greater London, United Kingdom NPL Full time

We're seeking a highly skilled Senior Research Scientist to join our Microphotonics team within our world-leading Time & Frequency department at NPL.

You will be part of our Microphotonics team at an exciting time – we are leading the national effort to develop compact and chip-based microresonator-based frequency combs, or microcombs, as part of the UK Quantum Technologies Flagship Programme.

Microcombs are a game-changer in:

  • Astronomy
  • Health monitoring
  • Explosives detection
  • Telecoms
  • Lidar and radar, and
  • Gravity sensing with portable optical clocks.

As a Senior Research Scientist, you'll play a pivotal role at the forefront of bringing these remarkable new technologies to fruition. You'll enjoy collaborating with prominent scientists and engineers at our state-of-the-art laboratories, to commercialise microcombs and incorporate them into exciting new technologies such as portable optical clocks and handheld real-time multispecies trace detectors based on dual-comb spectroscopy.

Key responsibilities:

  • Contributing to world-leading science and development of disruptive technologies
  • Sharing your learnings
  • Developing new and existing partnerships with academia and industry
  • Acting as an ambassador for our work externally and promoting our capabilities

This role provides the opportunity to publish your work in high-impact academic journals and present it at prestigious international conferences, contributing to a rapidly growing field of research.
