PREP Research Associate

This position is part of the National Institute of Standards (NIST) Professional Research Experience (PREP) program. NIST recognizes that its research staff may wish to collaborate with researchers at academic institutions on specific projects of mutual interest, thus requires that such institutions must be the recipient of a PREP award. The PREP program requires staff from a wide range of backgrounds to work on scientific research in many areas. Employees in this position will perform technical work that underpins the scientific research of the collaboration.

Research Title

Machine Learning for Neutron Reflectometry

The work will entail:

Neutron reflectometry (NR) is one of the techniques of choice to fill the data gap for disease-relevant proteins or peptides at cell membranes under pharmaceutically relevant conditions. A NR-based innovative measurement approach, called the Reflectometry-driven Optimization And Di...
