Form of work
SalaryAt NPL, we’re seeking a PhD graduate with a passion for experimental physics to join our world-leading Time and Frequency Department.
In this hybrid role you will spend approx. 2 – 3 days per week on site in Teddington, and 2 – 3 days working remotely. We value your work-life balance and are willing to discuss flexible or part-time working arrangements to accommodate your needs. This position also comes with a generous salary and Benefits.
Reporting to the Principal Scientist, you’ll play a pivotal role in the development and operation of Atomic Fountain Clocks, which are at the heart of the UK’s national timescale, UTC(NPL). Our caesium fountains are among the most accurate in the world and are used to steer the global timescale UTC. We also build primary Fountain Clocks for timing labs across the world and are developing a new compact cold atom clock for broader use. Our group is currently working on a major upgrade to the performance and resilience of the UK timescale.
In this role you will be responsible for the operation of Atomic Fountain Clocks and support the development of the enhanced UK timescale. You will enjoy contributing to and leading efforts to improve the performance and reliability of these systems, and to develop novel devices. This role offers realistic opportunities to collaborate with broader areas of Time and Frequency measurement activity at NPL.

We are now working in a hybrid way, with a mix of remote and office working. We strive to offer a great work life balance - if you are looking for full time, part time or flexible options, we will try to make this work where business possible. This will be dependent on the kind of role you do and part of the business you work in.
