Description
This postdoctoral opportunity at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) is designed for researchers interested in the complex interactions and multi-scale coupling within the thermosphere and ionosphere. The focus is on understanding the systematic response of these atmospheric regions to external forcing from both above and below, leveraging ground-based and space-based observations, empirical modeling, and first-principles physics-based modeling. Research areas include data analysis, empirical model development, and the study of space weather phenomena.
