Researchers think meltwater beneath Martian ice could support microbial life. Microbes could find a habitat beneath layers of ice on the surface of Mars. Aditya Khuller, who joined APL-UW this month, writes that on Mars there’s enough sunlight on dusty ice to create subsurface meltwater pools, just as on Earth. “If we’re trying to find life anywhere in the universe today, it’s one of the most accessible places." https://lnkd.in/g-Z6N55K

APL-UW is now accepting applications for its 2025 Science + Engineering Enrichment + Develop (SEED) postdoctoral fellowship. The SEED program offers a unique opportunity for outstanding candidates from a wide variety of academic disciplines to design their own research project around the problems they are passionate about and collaborate with APL-UW researchers in areas such Oceanography, Ocean Engineering, Acoustics, Marine Robotics, Marine Energy, Polar Science, Medical Ultrasound, Signal Processing, and Autonomy Information and application can be found here: https://lnkd.in/gTm6rfm2 Please share this opportunity with potential candidates and across your networks.

Engineers: software, hardware, electrical, field... join us! https://lnkd.in/gyAxdRFC

Congratulations to our Applied Physics Laboratory-UW supported students, Nicole P. and Dylan Wesen on their win at this year's IEEE Radar Conference Challenge and a big thank you to Analog Devices Jon Kraft for making the contest possible. For this contest, Nicole and Dylan created a X-band ISAR system based on the ADI CN0566 evaluation system. Really great to see it all come together, guys!

NASA has announced four finalists for the next generation of Earth-observing satellites, each to receive $5 million to conduct a one-year concept study as they advance to the next selection stage. APL-UW glaciologist Ben Smith is on the EDGE team, led by the University of California, San Diego. EDGE proposes a new laser instrument to measure the height and three-dimensional structure of terrestrial ecosystems and the surface topography of glaciers, ice sheets, and sea ice as they are changing in response to climate and human activity. Two winning concepts will be implemented fully, with mission launches scheduled for the early 2030s. https://lnkd.in/gTvP3NVx

Are you looking ahead to your next step in your postdoctoral career? Perhaps the APL-UW SEED Fellowship is in your future. Now is the time to start planning for your late 2024 application. Here's what one of our departing fellows shares about her experience:
