If so, please consider passing this information along. Details can be found below. A one-page flyer suitable for posting is also attached. Best regards, Ron Boisvert Acting Associate Director for Program Implementation NIST Information Technology Laboratory ============================================================ =============================== The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is offering awards for postdoctoral research, which may be of interest to Ph.D. students or postdoctoral researchers in your department. These awards are provided as part of a program called the Postdoctoral Research Associateship Program, which is administered for NIST by the National Research Council of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. This program gives recent Ph.D.s the opportunity to work on site at NIST labs in Gaithersburg, MD, or Boulder, CO on projects related to NIST’s mission in measurement science, standards, and technology. Participants perform research leading to publication, access NIST’s excellent and often unique facilities, and collaborate with leading scientists and engineers. Prospective applicants first identify a Research Adviser compatible with their interests from a large group available. They should then contact that person to discuss potential research projects. Once a willing adviser has been identified, the applicant can submit a research proposal through the NRC Research Associateship Program’s online application system. Reviews are conducted twice each year (with application deadlines of February 1 or August 1), and results are available to applicants six to eight weeks later. Successful applicants, or “Research Associates,” serve a two-year term, with an annual salary of $69,533, along with health insurance, relocation benefits and an allowance for professional travel. NIST provides access to facilities, equipment, and funding for supplies. Please note that awardees must hold U.S. citizenship and have held the Ph.D. less than five years at time of application. Also, all male applicants born after Dec. 31, 1959 must have registered with the Selective Service System or hold an exemption. Research opportunities within NIST’s Information Technology Laboratory are available at: https://www.nist.gov/itl/nrc-postdoctoral-research- fellowships-itl If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at boisvert(a)nist.gov. I hope that some of your Ph.D. students or postdoctoral researchers will take advantage of this opportunity. _______________________________________________ ITL-university-contacts mailing list ITL-university-contacts(a)nist.gov https://email.nist.gov/mailman/listinfo/itl-university-contacts
