The assistantship is part of a project investigating dynamics and coupling of the Arctic atmosphere and geospace that employs resonance and Rayleigh lidars. These lidars are operated as part of a suite of lidar, radar and imaging instruments by a team of researchers conducting meteorological and space weather studies at the Geophysical Institute and Poker Flat Research Range (PFRR). Rocket-borne investigations are also conducted at PFRR in coordination with the ground-based instrumentation. The successful applicant will work with a new sodium resonance wind-temperature lidar system that is operating at PFRR and have the opportunity to further improve the lidar system as well as the scientific analysis and interpretation of the lidar measurements.<br><br>For more information please contact Prof. Richard Collins (<a href="mailto:rlcollins@alaska.edu">rlcollins@alaska.edu</a>; Web: <a href="https://collinslab.community.uaf.edu/">https://collinslab.community.uaf.edu/</a>).<br><div apple-content-edited="true">---------------------<br><div>Richard Collins<br>Professor and Chief Scientist Poker Flat Research Range<br></div><div>Atmospheric Sciences and Geophysical Institute<br>University of Alaska Fairbanks<br>2156 Koyukuk Drive<br>Fairbanks, AK 99775-7320<br></div><br>Phone: (907) 474-7607<br>Fax: (907) 474-7290<br>Dept: (907) 474-7368<br><br>Lidar Research: <a href="https://collinslab.community.uaf.edu/">https://collinslab.community.uaf.edu/</a><br>Atmospheric Sciences: <a href="http://ffden-2.phys.uaf.edu/atm">http://ffden-2.phys.uaf.edu/atm</a><br>Geophysical Institute: <a href="http://www.gi.alaska.edu/research/atmo">http://www.gi.alaska.edu/research/atmo</a><br>Poker Flat Research Range: <a href="http://www.pfrr.alaska.edu/">http://www.pfrr.alaska.edu/</a><br><br></div><br></body></html>
