Job Summary
PREP Research Associate to develop radio frequency (RF) and microwave field strength sensors. This includes continuous wave and
modulated fields. The associate will work with anechoic chambers, transverse electromagnetic (TEM) cells, vector network analyzers, power
amplifiers, oscilloscopes, and other RF equipment. This work will include researching novel field strength probes for low fields and
modulated fields. Tasks include carrying out calibrations of RF equipment, performing uncertainty analysis, and automating data acquisition.
The associate will bring experience in troubleshooting RF electronics and will strengthen their understanding of metrology and knowledge of
fundamental radio frequency measurements.
This position is part of the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST)
Professional Research Experience Program (PREP). 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. The University of Colorado Boulder is committed to
building a culturally diverse community of faculty, staff, and students dedicated to contributing to an inclusive campus environment. We are
an Equal Opportunity employer, including veterans and individuals with disabilities.
Who We Are
PREP is a special
partnership between the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado Boulder. PREP provides research
opportunities to CU undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers with a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in NIST labs to gain
research experience alongside NIST scientists.
The particular group that needs a researcher is the Electromagnetics Field Group under the
RF Technology Division at NIST.
