  ·      Minimum education and experience requirements:

o   Bachelor’s degree plus 2 years of experience, or

o   Master’s degree plus 1 year of experience

·      Experimental research background in nonlinear optics or laser development is desired. The ideal candidate will possess experience with one of more of the following:

o   quantum optics, (un)entangled photon source generation, single photon detection

o   parametric (e.g., OPA and SPDC) or non-parametric (e.g., stimulated Raman scattering) frequency conversion techniques

o   optical characterization or determination of nonlinear properties of materials

o   experimentation with, or design of, hollow-core photonic crystal fiber

o   optical fiber handling, aligning, and glass processing (e.g., splicing, cleaving)

o   COMSOL Multiphysics software

·       Experience with numerical modeling tools such as MATLAB or Mathematica is desired.

·       Applicant must be qualified to obtain a DoD secret security clearance.  Existing clearance desired.
