Summary: Postdoctoral fellowship at NRL to investigate solar magnetic fields and their impact on solar irradiance and wind variability, advancing models of space weather and Earth's upper atmosphere.
Description
This postdoctoral research opportunity at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) supports fundamental research into how the Sun’s magnetic field drives variability in solar irradiance and the solar wind—key factors influencing space weather and Earth's upper atmospheric dynamics. The project leverages simulations, observations, and modeling to explore the interplay between solar magnetic evolution, radiative output, and mass flow from the Sun, with the goal of improving predictive models of solar variability and its terrestrial impacts.
