Graduate Research Assistantships at Cornell with rockets or GPS
- Graduate Research Assistantship in Space Physics and Engineering with an emphasis on sounding rocket instrumentation and the investigation of fundamental plasma physics processes in the northern lights. Students will work on sounding rocket payloads with an experienced engineer, then use the data from the experiment to develop their dissertation. Requires travel to far northern sites to view the aurora.
- Graduate Research Assistantship in Space Physics and Engineering with an emphasis on GPS technology and using GPS for remotely sensing space weather. Students will work in a group that designs, builds, and operates GPS receivers for remote sensing of the ionosphere. Cornell has a state-of-the-art GPS laboratory for developing new GPS receiver designs. Currently Cornell operates about 25 receivers around the world in cooperative agreements with other space science institutions. Student research generally involves receiver design, operation in space weather active regions (such as the tropics), and interpretation of the acquired data.
