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 Delivery Manager, within Digital, you'll help unlock new digital opportunities, from quantum devices to 5G. At NPL, we touch ordinar...

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. As an organisation, we appreciate that change is essential to sustainable growth. You'll be a key member of our...

The Optical Frequency Metrology Goup at NPL is at the forefront of developing the next generation of atomic clocks, which operate at optical frequencies. Already surpassing current primary standards in performance, these optical clocks are expected to lead to a future redefinition of the second and, consequently, to changes in the way we maintain and disseminate the national time sc...

The Earth Observation, Climate & Optical group at NPL is a world leader in the theory, methods and practice of metrological traceability of earth observation instrumentation and their data products. ECO projects span the full life cycle of EO instrumentation traceability; from pre-flight calibration, in-orbit validation & sensor inter-operability, together with L1 and derived product quality...

You'll plan and deliver a number of technical activities to take our research to the next level. As we're pushing boundaries all the time, we'll expect you to acquire new knowledge to find solutions to advance our research. It's your responsibility to share your learnings so that we all benefit, mentoring those with less experience than you. Equally, if commercial opportunities arise fro...

PhD Vacancy This project offers the exciting opportunity to develop fundamental new insight into the certainty of satellite estimates of climate change, with a focus on Earth's polar ice sheets. The melting of ice from Greenland and Antarctica contributes more than one third of global sea level rise. Satellites provide a unique tool for systematically monitoring the response of these...
