Career Opportunities In Industry and Government

The National Institute of Standards and Technology—American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (NIST-ARAA) Measurement Science and Engineering Fellowship Program

This program, made possible by a $15.5 million award from NIST to the University of Maryland, will ultimately bring approximately 50 fellows per year over three years to work at NIST laboratories in Gaithersburg, Md., and Charleston, S.C., providing new research collaborations among students, faculty and NIST scientists. The goal is to further develop a future scientific talent pool with extensive training in measurement science and engineering.

Positions will be offered at a variety of experience levels for students, postdocs, and senior research scientists and research faculty. Candidates from a variety of engineering and scientific disciplines, including those not currently affiliated with the University of Maryland, are encouraged to apply.
