What is a tech scholar?

Tech Scholars are individuals, often students or early career professionals, who participate in specialized programs, internships, or research opportunities focused on technology and innovation. These programs are designed to provide hands-on experience, mentorship, and exposure to cutting-edge tech fields such as software development, data science, cybersecurity, or artificial intelligence. Tech Scholars often work on real-world projects, attend workshops, and network with industry professionals to build their skills and knowledge. The goal is to prepare them for successful careers in technology.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a tech scholar?

To thrive as a Tech Scholar, you need a strong foundation in computer science principles, analytical thinking, and academic research skills, often demonstrated by an advanced degree or ongoing studies in a technical field. Familiarity with programming languages, data analysis tools, and academic publishing platforms is typically required. Curiosity, critical thinking, and effective communication are essential soft skills for excelling in research environments and collaborating with peers. These skills ensure that Tech Scholars can contribute valuable insights, stay current with technological advances, and disseminate knowledge effectively.

What types of projects or research do tech scholars typically work on, and how do these contribute to team goals?

Tech Scholars often engage in innovative research, prototype development, or exploration of emerging technologies within their area of expertise. Their projects are usually aligned with the organization's strategic objectives, such as enhancing product features, optimizing processes, or exploring new technical solutions. Collaboration is key—Tech Scholars work closely with engineers, product managers, and other researchers to share findings and integrate their work into broader company initiatives. This environment offers valuable learning experiences and opportunities to make a tangible impact.

What is the difference between Tech Scholar vs Tech Intern?

AspectTech ScholarTech Intern
Required CredentialsTypically enrolled in or recent graduate of a relevant tech program or degreeUsually students or early-stage learners, often still in school
Work EnvironmentOften part-time, project-based, or mentorship-focused roles within educational or corporate settingsTemporary, internship positions within tech companies or startups
Employer & Industry UsageUsed by educational institutions and companies to denote learning-focused rolesCommonly used by companies for entry-level, training, or internship programs

Tech Scholars are typically students or recent graduates engaged in learning or mentorship programs, while Tech Interns are usually early-career individuals gaining practical experience through temporary internships. Both roles aim to develop skills but differ mainly in their stage of career and program structure.

Job description

Description
Postdoctoral Scholars on KATRIN and Project 8
We invite applications for two full-time, 12-month Postdoctoral Scholar positions in the area of experimental nuclear physics, on direct measurements of neutrino mass, in the Physics Department at the University of Washington (UW). The base salary range for this position is $5705-$6500 per month, commensurate with experience and qualifications or as mandated by a U.S. Department of Labor prevailing wage determination.
The successful candidates will be involved in two experiments, KATRIN and Project 8, that probe the neutrino mass by precisely measuring the beta decay spectrum of tritium. We envision that one position will involve full time work on Project 8 and one will be a split between KATRIN and Project 8.
We welcome candidates from a wide range of backgrounds, including but not limited to nuclear, atomic, precision measurements, particle, or astroparticle physics. Previous experience in one or more of the following topics is preferred: neutrino experiments, silicon detectors, ultra-high vacuum, tritium gas handling, magnetometry, cryogenic engineering, charged-particle trapping, atom trapping and cooling, RF/microwave cavities and radiation detection, FPGAs, Python, C++, Monte Carlo simulation, event reconstruction techniques, and data analysis and data quality assurance.
KATRIN recently set the world-leading neutrino mass limit of 0.45 eV/c2, and its ongoing and final data taking campaign aims to reach a final sensitivity of ~300 meV. It is located at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany; the UW is the lead US institute, responsible for providing the primary electron detection system and active in the ongoing data acquisition and analysis. Project 8 represents the next generation of beta decay neutrino mass experiments, using a novel high-precision, low background technique called Cyclotron Radiation Emission Spectroscopy (CRES) to detect the decay electron. Project 8 has an ultimate goal of sensitivity to 40 meV/c2 neutrino mass, covering the entire allowed parameter space for the inverted ordering. After recently hosting the first CRES-based neutrino mass measurement, the UW is building a higher-precision CRES apparatus with a new resonant cavity detector geometry, developing a cooled atomic tritium source, and leading design work for Project 8's future neutrino mass measurement experiments.
The postdoctoral positions will be based in Seattle within the Center for Experimental Nuclear Physics and Astrophysics (CENPA), which provides world-class engineering and technical support. Occasional trips to the KATRIN experiment will also be expected. The initial appointments will be for one year, expected to be renewed on a yearly basis, subject to funding and mutual agreement. The Postdoctoral Scholar title is limited to five years, including postdoctoral experience(s) at UW and other institutions. The preferred start date is second half 2026 or early 2027. Postdoctoral Scholars are represented by UAW 4121 and are subject to the collective bargaining agreement, unless agreed exclusion criteria apply. For more information, please visit the University of Washington Labor Relations website.
Qualifications
Applicants are required to have obtained or have completed all requirements for the degree of Ph.D. (or foreign equivalent) in Physics or a related field before the start of the appointment.
Application Instructions
Applicants should be submitted in Interfolio and must include a cover letter, CV with bibliography, a statement summarizing research achievements and interests, and three confidential letters of reference. Please contact Prof. Elise Novitski (facsrch@uw.edu) with any questions about the application requirements. Earlier submissions will be given priority. Only those candidates selected for an interview will be contacted. The position will remain open until filled.
