2023 NASA Planetary Science Summer School Applications

(Due: March 27, 2023)

Offered by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA, PSSS is a 3-month long career development experience to learn the development of a hypothesis-driven robotic space mission in a concurrent engineering environment while getting an in-depth, first-hand look at mission design, life cycle, costs, schedule & the inherent trade-offs.

Science and engineering doctoral candidates, recent Ph.D.s, postdocs, junior faculty, and certain master’s degree students, who are U.S. Citizens or legal permanent residents (and a very limited number of Foreign Nationals from non-designated counties), are eligible. There is no charge to attend, travel stipends are available, and applicants from diverse backgrounds are particularly encouraged to apply. Diversity, equity and inclusion are important to us, and we strive to create a welcoming environment where participants’ contributions and unique perspectives are valued.

Session 1: Preparatory Sessions May 11-July 28. Culminating Week with JPL’s Team X July 31-August 4

Session 2: Preparatory Sessions May 25-August 11. Culminating Week with JPL’s Team X August 14-18

With workload of a rigorous 3-credit graduate-level course, participants act as a planetary science mission team during the first 10 weeks of preparatory webinars, with the final culminating week mentored by JPL’s Advance Project Design Team for refining the mission concept design & presenting it to a mock expert review board. The culminating week is planned to be at JPL.

Applications are due March 27, 2023. A recording is available of the informational Q&A session.

POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE IN VENUS SURFACE MINERALOGY, WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY

https://careers.wesleyan.edu/postings/9388

Prof. Martha Gilmore seeks a Postdoctoral Research Associate with expertise in mineralogy, petrology and/or geochemistry to undertake analysis of Venus relevant minerals and rocks to constrain weathering reactions on the Venus surface. We will examine chemical and mineralogical changes in relevant geological samples exposed to Venus conditions in the Glenn Extreme Environments Rig (GEER). Analytical techniques include FE-SEM, XRF, XRD, Electron Microprobe, VNIR and Raman spectroscopy. The work will also include the design, execution and analysis of experiments in 1-atm apparatus to mimic Venus surface conditions in the lab at Wesleyan.

The position has been approved for 3 years. Anticipated start date is no earlier than July 1, 2023. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis. Applications received by March 24, 2023 will be given full consideration.

For more information, please contact mgil...@wesleyan.edu and see the Planetary Science Group and the Earth & Environmental Sciences
