CEDAR email: PhD position at Illinois Institute of Technology

[Seebany Datta-Barua]

Dear colleagues,

The Mechanical, Materials and Aerospace Engineering (MMAE) Department at
Illinois Institute of Technology (Illinois Tech) is seeking a graduate
student in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering to advance understanding of
magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere coupling through data assimilation.

One research assistantship is available starting in Fall 2024 or Spring
2025. The position offers a stipend and a tuition waiver.  Experience in
space physics, aerospace or electrical engineering, or statistics, along
with strong programming skills, is desired. Candidates with technical
backgrounds in other fields (e.g., atmospheric physics, applied
mathematics, or a closely related discipline) who are interested in space
weather applications and upper atmospheric forecasting are also encouraged
to apply. U.S. citizenship is preferred but not required.

Prospective students are invited to contact Seebany Datta-Barua (sdattaba
at iit.edu) for additional information. Application information for
Graduate Programs in MMAE is available at
https://www.iit.edu/admissions-aid/apply.

Illinois Tech’s Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical and Aerospace
Engineering program provides students with the latest research-based
education and knowledge through advanced coursework, state-of-the-art and
original research, and publication of novel results in preparation for
careers in academia and industrial research and development. Information on
faculty, research, and degree programs in the MMAE department can be found
at https://www.iit.edu/mmae.

Illinois Tech is home to a diverse and global student population and
strongly encourages applicants from all backgrounds to apply for this
position, especially those underrepresented in the field. The main campus
is located three miles from downtown Chicago and in close proximity to many
industries in the greater Chicago area.
