<span class=""><b class="">What You Will Do</b><br class="">
<br class="">
The Space and Remote Sensing Sciences Group at Los Alamos National Laboratory is looking for an outstanding applicant for a position in ionospheric remote sensing. The successful candidate will work on ionospheric data analysis from some combination of ground-based
GPS receivers, digisonde measurements, and incoherent scatter radar. The chosen ionospheric research project can be focused on ionospheric/magnetospheric coupling, midlatitude ionospheric disturbances, or equatorial electrodynamics. Postdoctoral candidates
are required to have a Ph.D. degree, completed within the past five years, or soon to be completed. Appointments are for two years, renewable for a third year.<br class="">
<br class="">
Our team’s research program in ionospheric physics is conducted in support of performance assessment of GPS-based global nuclear detonation sensors for treaty monitoring. LANL offers a stimulating environment of diverse, world-class science, in a beautiful
mountain setting, where scientists pursue research to solve problems of national significance. The successful candidate should have familiarity with scientific data processing, programming, and statistical analysis.<br class="">
