Research Associate - Ionospheric Radio Propagation
Research Associate - Ionospheric Radio Propagation
Department: Electronic & Electrical Engineering
Salary: Starting from £37,999, rising to £45,163
Closing date: Tuesday 26 November 2024
About the role
We are seeking Research Associates to study large-to-small scale ionospheric irregularities by utilising new evidence from EISCAT_3D together with evidence from any other relevant datasets as well as to model and characterise propagation disturbances induced by ionospheric irregularities on radio signals (for example, satellites and radio objects).
The NERC-funded FINESSE project will exploit a new and unique (also NERC-funded) incoherent scatter radar system, EISCAT_3D, located in northern Scandinavia and capable of 3D imaging of the ionosphere.
The UK along with the rest of the world is becoming increasingly dependent on technological systems, such as satellite telecommunications and satellite navigation, that are at risk from adverse space weather conditions. This risk manifests through plasma instabilities in the ionosphere which originate electron density irregularities that induce propagation disturbances on radio signals such as from GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems).
One of the main objectives of the FINESSE project is to determine the origin of large-to-small scale ionospheric irregular...
