Everforth ECS is seeking a Scientist - Advanced Microsystems to work in our Arlington, VA office. This person will to support the evaluation and advancement of next-generation microsystems and advanced sensing technologies Please Note: This position is contingent upon additional funding.

This role focuses on emerging research in advanced materials, precision manufacturing, microfabrication, packaging technologies, and device integration that enable highly engineered systems to transition from laboratory concepts into scalable, real-world applications.

We at Oratomic are looking for exceptional individuals to join us in building the world’s first fault-tolerant quantum computer. A quantum computer, that is fault-tolerant and capable of useful applications, would enable a fundamentally new model of computation that could have consequences far beyond what we can predict today.

We believe this will be one of our generation’s defining technological achievements. We also believe it can be realized with a small, focused team. This is possible because our recent advances have resulted in a substantially simpler approach to quantum error correction, based on reconfigurable atomic arrays trapped in focused laser beams.

The successful candidate will support the program manager (PM) on managing an innovative computing program from start to finish. In this capacity, the candidate will evaluate the technical progress of performers, provide feedback to the PM and to the performers, advise the PM on overall program planning, prepare summary briefing materials for the PM, and coordinate program reviews and meetings. The candidate will also supports new program development by helping to address the Heilmeier criteria, performing background literature reviews and research, and preparing briefings and documentation.

Brian P. Anderson, dean and professor of the Wyant College of Optical Sciences, announced a generous gift of more than $800,000 in expendable funds from the Wyant Foundation Trust providing two years of seed-funding for LENS: Linking Engagement, Networks and Student Success.

Two Wyant College students received 2026 Optics and Photonics Education Scholarships from SPIE. Alana Gonzales and Supriya Roy were among the 85 outstanding SPIE Student Members to be recognized. 

Army Research Laboratory (ARL) Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowships provide early career researchers the opportunity to pursue independent research of their own choosing that supports the mission of ARL. Candidates must display extraordinary ability in scientific research, show clear promise of becoming outstanding leaders, and are expected to have already successfully tackled a major scientific or engineering problem during their thesis work or to have provided a new approach or insight, evidenced by a recognized impact in their field.
