The article discusses the research opportunities available at the Physical Measurement Laboratory (PML) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). PML is responsible for setting the definitive U.S. standards for various measurements used in commerce and research, and it relies on postdoctoral research associates to aid in these efforts. The laboratory is involved in a wide range of programs designed for students and researchers at different levels, from high school to postdoctoral researchers. NIST aims to create a collaborative and innovative workplace that empowers its staff to do their best work. The Quantum Measurement Division (QMD) provides the physical foundation for the International System of Units (SI), and advances the measurement science, standards, and applications for dimensional, optical radiation, and thermodynamic quantities to support U.S. industry and trade.
