Description
This fellowship opportunity is offered by the Geospace Science and Technology Branch at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, DC. It supports postdoctoral research in ionospheric physics and radio propagation. Research areas include:
- Physics-based ionospheric modeling
- Data assimilation modeling
- Three-dimensional magneto-ionic raytracing
- Studying the impact of ionospheric irregularities on high frequency (HF) radio signals
The research aims to advance understanding of ionospheric variability and its effects on radio signal propagation, which is critical for communication and navigation systems.
