Research Associate (Free Space Optics)

As the appointee you will, under broad direction undertake research relating to free-space optical timing and positioning.
This includes working with the Industry Fellowship team on building and deploying optical terminal to demonstrate phase-stabilised frequency transfer and absolute time transfer; working with the TeraNet teams to conduct timing and positing experiments between Earth and space; and work on other projects towards free-space quantum-assured timing.To be considered for this opportunity, you will demonstrate: PhD, or soon to be completed PhD or equivalent experience in physics, engineering, or related disciplineDemonstrated experience in one or more of the following:free-space optics, optical fibre coupling, and optical system designexperimental frequency or quantum metrologyfrequency transfer and time transfer systemsunderstanding of atmospheric physics theoryExperience with high-quality supervision of Masters and PhD studentsDemonstrated ability to work independently and collaboratively and to build effective and positive working relationships with diverse collaborators and stakeholdersExperience with programming and simulation in Python or MATLAB is desirable
