Vacancies

PhD Vacancy Project Introduction X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT) is an established 3D imaging technology employed extensively for medical imaging and materials characterisation. Identified as a capable inspection tool to facilitate the adoption of additive manufacturing (AM) in critical industry sectors, XCT can measure complex AM structures and internal geometries unachievable using...

The Optical Frequency Metrology (OFM) group at NPL invites applications from experimental physicists with a strong background in cold atom research to contribute to development of the next generation of neutral atom based optical lattice clocks. Optical lattice clocks are at the forefront of frequency metrology and embrace the latest developments in cold atom experimental techniques to push...

Whether you're talking about length, mass, time, temperature, electric current, amount or the brightness of light, the National Physical Laboratory sets the standards by which these things are all measured. At NPL, we touch ordinary lives in extraordinary ways and you could too. Developing and applying leading-edge knowledge, techniques and technology, your work will have a real impact to o...

Put simply, we set the standards by which everything is measured. In doing so, the National Physical Laboratory is helping to combat issues on a global scale such as climate change, curing diseases and the development of cutting-edge communications technology. Yet none of this would be possible without the dedication of everyone here . As an Assistant HR Business Partner , you'll hel...

We have several opportunities at graduate and senior levels for talented scientists, computer scientists, electronics engineers, software engineers, network engineers, and systems engineers to join our expanding National Time Scale Group, which forms part of the Time & Frequency Department. We are looking to add to our expanding team of multi-disciplined scientists and engineers to provide ...

The Time and Frequency Department at NPL is seeking an experimental physicist to contribute to our expanding portfolio of projects involving optical frequency combs. These sit at the heart of our programme to develop a new generation of optical atomic clocks in anticipation of a redefinition of the SI second. Femtosecond combs allow clocks operating at different frequencies and in differen...

The Time & Frequency Department at NPL is recruiting an experimental physicist with a strong background in cold atom or ion research to contribute to our expanding programme of high-performance optical clocks. We have a position available in our ytterbium ion (Yb+) optical clock team, developing a world-leading frequency standard for applications in metrology and fundamental physics. Optic...

Do you want to be part of a research team that is performing some of the most precise optical measurements on Earth? We are recruiting scientists to contribute to our expanding programme of ultra-stable lasers and their applications, ranging from tests of fundamental physics, to generation of ultra-low phase noise microwave frequencies, to detecting earthquakes with optical fibre link...

Put simply, we set the standards by which everything is measured. In doing so, the National Physical Laboratory is helping to combat issues on a global scale such as climate change, curing diseases and the development of cutting-edge communications technology. As a Project Manager you'll take a leading role in delivering a range of projects and contracts that have the potential to make a...
