This is the last week to apply for the summer 2018 term with NASA DEVELOP!

 

The NASA DEVELOP[develop.larc.nasa.gov] Program is currently recruiting for the summer 2018 term. This is a 10-week paid contracting position open for current students, recent college graduates, and career transitioning professionals including veterans of the Armed Forces. Although the term is only 10 weeks, there are many opportunities to advance through the program to year-long contracts.

 

This is a great opportunity for individuals who are interested in practical applications of remote sensing and GIS, specifically in the field of Earth Science. Our projects focus on addressing local and international community concerns while utilizing NASA's Earth observations. Participants work in teams, with guidance from NASA and partner science advisors, to demonstrate to partner organizations how NASA remote sensing imagery can be used in water resources, disaster management, ecological forecasting, and other applications to address environmental community concerns. DEVELOP’s projects are interdisciplinary in nature, so applications are welcome from all academic backgrounds.

 

Details about the program and how to apply can be found at http://develop.larc.nasa.gov/[develop.larc.nasa.gov]. The summer online application window is January 8 – February 16.  The summer program dates are June 4 – August 10. The DEVELOP program has three terms: spring, summer, and fall – the term dates and application windows are updated on the “Apply[develop.larc.nasa.gov]” page of the DEVELOP website. In addition to Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD, there are many other locations across the United States that you can find on the "About[develop.larc.nasa.gov]" page.

 

Responsibilities include: literature review, data processing and analysis, and composing deliverables including a technical paper, poster, presentation, and video. Previous GIS or remote sensing experience, while beneficial and more competitive, are not required for acceptance.

 

Applicants must have excellent communication and writing skills and be able to work in a fast-paced environment. Days of the week are flexible, but applicants should be able to commit to 20-29 hours per week for the summer term. Paid positions are funded as contractors using a rate determined by application type, education level, and location.

 

I appreciate you sharing this opportunity with students, colleagues, and anyone interested. Please feel free to contact me if you have additional questions.

 

Sincerely,

Victor
