About this position
NavSAS is advertising an upcoming fully funded PhD opportunity in GNSS, remote sensing, signal processing, and upper-atmosphere physics for a project titled Sensing the Earth, From the Moon.
The research will use the Lunar GNSS Receiver Experiment (LuGRE) dataset to study the coupled Earth ionosphere–plasmasphere system and to support future lunar navigation. Research directions include refinement of global plasmaspheric density models, investigation of ionosphere–plasmasphere dynamics, characterisation of ionospheric effects on signals for lunar navigation, and exploitation of GNSS observations acquired beyond Earth orbit.
The opportunity is a 3-year fully funded PhD scholarship supported by Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia. The project connects Politecnico di Torino in Turin, Italy, and INGV in Rome, Italy, with an international research period at partner institutions.
Ideal applicants should have a background in GNSS, space science, Earth observation, or signal processing, and an interest in remote sensing, climatology, and space-based navigation. Applications are expected to open on October 14 via the linked application page.
