Ionospheric Research Opportunity
The Institute for Solar-Terrestrial Physics is dedicated to studying the ionosphere-thermosphere-magnetosphere system and its interactions with the solar wind.
Our Space Weather Observation department aims to improve models of the ionosphere by analyzing data from global navigation satellite systems (GNSS).
Your Responsibilities
* Derive the rate-of-TEC index (ROTI) from airborne GNSS observations using a dataset from the GEOHALO mission.
* Develop a comprehensive analysis strategy to evaluate the ROTI derivation.
* Reference data includes location, ionospheric/space weather conditions, and aircraft velocity/attitude.
Requirements
* Bachelor's degree in natural sciences (e.g., physics), engineering (e.g., geodesy, computer science), or relevant fields.
* Strong interest in radio navigation and ionospheric factors.
* Experience in analyzing GNSS data and programming languages like MATLAB or Python.
* Fluent written and spoken English.
* Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
Benefits
This research opportunity will provide valuable experience in ionospheric research and data analysis. You will have the chance to collaborate with our experienced researchers and contribute to the development of new models for the ionosphere.
About Us
Our institute is committed to advancing our understanding of the Earth's atmosphere and its interactions with the solar wind. We are looking for talented individuals to join our team and contribute to our research efforts.
