NRL's Optical Sciences Division seeks post-doctoral candidates to work in the area of analog photonic signal processing and optical computing. Analog photonic computing and signal processing has the potential to reduce latency and power consumption compared to traditional digital signal processing techniques. This could enable new optical sensor designs and improve the performance of existing sensors through improved edge-computing. We are looking for a post-doctoral candidate to conduct research developing photonic techniques capable of realizing these advantages by accelerating the processing and analysis of optical sensor data. The post-doc will be expected to experimentally validate their designs using photonic integrated circuits and fiber optic platforms. We anticipate that the post-doc will publish their work in peer-reviewed journal articles and present at conferences. The candidate should have a strong background in optical computing, integrated photonics, image processing, and machine learning techniques.
