Computational Physics, Inc. (CPI) is looking for an Experimental Atomic Physicist to support our customers at the U.S. Naval Observatory (USNO) . Background The USNO is responsible for the creation, dissemination and maintenance of precise time and navigation products for the Department of Defense and other customers. CPI is seeking an Experimental Physicist with a background in atomic, molecular or optical physics to support next-generation atomic clock development at USNO. The successful candidate will support the work of the Clock Development division on optical lattice clocks and cold-atom beam optical clocks based on alkaline earth atoms. The new Physicist will work with a team of CPI contractors and USNO Scientists to develop robust solutions for high-uptime optical clocks and the infrastructure for their integration into the USNO timescale. Most work for this position will be completed on-site at USNO in Washington, D.C.; occasional travel to conferences within and...

Computational Physics, Inc. (CPI) is looking for a full-time Electrical Engineer to support our customers at the U .S. Naval Observatory, Washington DC .
