This position is part of the National Institute of Standards and Technology(NIST) Professional Research Experience Program (PREP). NIST recognizes that itsresearch staff may want to collaborate with researchers at academic institutionson specific projects of mutual interest and, therefore, requires thoseinstitutions to be recipients of a PREP award. The PREP program involves stafffrom a wide range of backgrounds conducting scientific research across variousfields.

Individuals in this position will perform technical work supporting the collaboration's scientific research.

Single Particle Mass Metrology

The candidate will perform postdoctoral research at NIST to characterize themass of single microscopic particles individually and in ensembles. A working knowledge of single particle mass spectrometry is required, as is basic physics.

The researcher will perform theoretical and laboratory work to develop optimummethods for measuring the mass of the particles, including radionuclide samples.

Advanced uncertainty analysis will be required to provide a mass value andmodel-based uncertainty using multiple methods to cross-check. These methods may include mass spectrometry and inertial balance development and prototypeinstrumentation construction or modification.

• Documentation of measurement method development data
• Determination of SI-traceability path and uncertainty analysis
• Work with hazardous chemicals, including radionuclides
• Presenting results at internal meetings, and occasional meetings with external stakeholders.
• Ensuring that results, protocols, software, and documentation have beenarchived or otherwise transmitted to the larger organization.
• Generating a final deliverable of a particle mass measurement.anroomfacility ((Use the "Apply for this Job" box below).)

• PhD in chemistry or physics, analytical chemistry preferred
• 5 years of relevant experience.
• Knowledge of traceability and standards development.
• Familiarity with advanced data analysis.
• Ability to develop prototypes of tools needed to analyze data.
• Strong oral and written communication skills.
