Description
The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) offers a prestigious postdoctoral fellowship opportunity through the NRC Research Associateship Programs focused on ionospheric modeling. Research projects involve physics-based, empirical, and data assimilation approaches to improve the specification and forecasting of ionospheric phenomena at global and mesoscale levels. Key research interests include:
- Effects of global thermospheric tides on the ionosphere
- Disturbed high-latitude ionospheric conditions
- Smaller scale disturbances such as Medium Scale Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances (MSTIDs)
This fellowship provides access to state-of-the-art facilities and mentorship within the Geospace Science and Technology Branch at NRL, located in Washington, DC.
