Senior scientist – luminescence thermometry - 1 year ftc

Tewkesbury
NPL
Scientist
Posted: 13 August
Offer description

* NPL is the UK’s National Metrology Institute. Our role is to research, create and deliver the measurement infrastructure which underpins the UK’s prosperity and quality of life across many fields of industry. The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is seeking an experienced Senior Research Scientist to join our team in Teddington.

Some of the day to day duties and responsibilities of the Senior Scientist will involve:

o Leading cutting-edge research, recognising aspects that could be commercially viable
o Representing NPL to promote our work and raise our profile
o Crafting winning bids, in line with NPL’s growth strategy
o Working inclusively and collaboratively to develop partnership opportunities


In this post you will be part of a highly motivated team applying physics and engineering to solve challenging technical problems and will engage with external organisations to help grow our business.

As a member of a world leading Temperature and Humidity measurement group you will be involved in a range of activities from government funded research to industry focused applications. Contemporary optical thermometry techniques, focusing on luminescence materials, have the potential to provide innovative solutions to immediate industrial challenges in a diverse range of sectors including advanced manufacturing, energy and the environment, and health care.

Current research activities centre around traceable, robust thermometry in harsh environments:

o Design, construction and validation of novel single-point and imaging luminescence surface thermometry systems suitable for a wide range of industrial applications
o Development of a robust metrological foundation for luminescence thermometry including traceable calibration artifacts and extension of the lower and upper temperature measurement limits  
o Application of optical diagnostics to obtain low uncertainty temperature measurements of physical experiments, including contact probes (e.g., fibre-optic), surface probes (e.g., luminescence) and gas-phase probes (e.g., laser scattering) applications
o Commercialisation of laboratory luminescence thermometers for wider industrial uptake

This research and development role will involve:

o Design, construction, and operation of experiments, using optical components, including the development of data acquisition systems and analysis software
o Reporting your work internally to your team and externally to your customers and other stakeholders, including peer review publications, conference presentations and invited lectures
o Actively seeking engagement with colleagues, customers, and other stakeholders to grow partnerships, business income and esteem indicators
o Technical leadership in project bidding and delivery, including grant proposal writing and reporting
