Research Faculty; PREP

Colorado School of Mines invites applications for a position which is part of the National Institute of Standards (NIST) Professional Research Experience (PREP) program in support of microwave impedance measurements. NIST recognizes that its research staff may wish to collaborate with researchers at academic institutions on specific projects of mutual interest, thus requires that such institutions must be the recipient of a PREP award.

The PREP program requires staff from a wide range of backgrounds to work on scientific research in many areas. Employees in this position will perform technical work that underpins the scientific research of the collaboration.

Primary responsibilities will be microwave and RF measurements. Such work will be carried out in close collaboration with partners at NIST as well as industry partners, government laboratories and colleagues at other universities. The position will require publishing findings in peer reviewed journals, presenting the work at project meetings and scientific conferences, mentoring graduate and undergraduate students, and contributing to reports for external sponsors.

The candidate must be proficient in at least one type of programming language for scientific computing (e.g., MATLAB, python, C++). Candidate must be able to learn measurement and interpretation of microwave scattering parameters.

Education and Experience:

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, physics or related field

Certifications and Licenses:

• None required

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:

• Basic experience with RF measurement equipment
• Basic experience with uncertainty analysis
• Basic experience with scientific computing
• Basic experience with statistical analysis
• Characterization of RF devices.
• Experience with electromagnetic simulator programs
• Measurement and interpretation of electrical properties using probe station.
• Laboratory safety training
• Strong oral and written communication in English language
