NIST offers postdoctoral research associateships in collaboration with the National Research Council (NRC) in the Quantum Sensors Division. The research topics and associated advisors are listed below.
To apply, complete information and application forms for all NIST NRC postdoctoral offerings are available at http://sites.nationalacademies.org/pga/RAP/index.htm. The NIST program is described at http://nrc58.nas.edu/RAPLab10/Opportunity/Program.aspx?LabCode=50. Click on “Search Opportunities” or go directly to http://nrc58.nas.edu/RAPLab10/Opportunity/Search.aspx.
Application deadlines are February 1 (to begin work between July and March) and August 1 (to begin work between January and September), but you must start developing your application and proposal months before the deadline. U.S. citizenship is required for NRC postdoctoral appointments.
After you have decided on an advisor and a project, register to complete the electronic application at http://nrc58.nas.edu/nrcwebrap/rap/login/login.asp. Instructions for completing the application are available at http://sites.nationalacademies.org/pga/RAP/PGA_046398.
Once you register, you may return to the system as often as you like. It is not necessary to complete all forms at the same time. You can return after you submit the application to check the status of receipt of your supporting documents.
