**Job Summary**

The proposed work will be performed within the Quantum Nanophotonics and Faint Photonics groups within the Applied Physics Division at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Boulder, CO, USA. Primary duties consist of analyzing and improving the performance of superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs). This task involves both nanofabrication in a specialized cleanroom facility, as well as device testing and characterization in an optics setup. The research requires the development of novel materials and SNSPD device designs to combine multiple performance metrics into single devices such as ...
