NASA Earth Science Division: Funding, Internships, & Engagement Opportunities

[Jessica Burnett]

Greetings all, 

Below is an amalgamation of funding and engagement opportunities for PIs, FIs, and students here at NASA (resources compiled and shared from the perspective of a a wildlife ecologist). Please share widely.

The deadline for proposal submissions approaches for NASA Ecological Conservation Applications Area's A.40: EARTH SCIENCE APPLICATIONS: ECOLOGICAL CONSERVATION. Solicitation seeks proposal for applications of remote sensing for conservation in the following topics: invasion ecology; protected areas; ecosystem services. Link to full solicitation: https://bit.ly/nasa-ecol-open. 

For more information on the NASA Biodiversity & EcoCons programs, see https://bit.ly/nasa-bdec

NASA also offers several, arguably well-paid, semester-long internships across the agency. Eligibility for current or past undergraduate and graduate STEM students (https://intern.nasa.gov/). Note: the Ecol. Cons. applications area at HQ seeks 1 intern for this summer. Full list of openings are here  (see 'Biological Diversity & Ecological Forecasting Program Support' for our programs' HQ remote position). BioSCape, one of our field projects with airborne support, project seeks a student to help with comms.  

Please also see here (https://bit.ly/nasa-wildlife) for a dynamic and informal list of wildlife/conservation-relevant information, opportunities, programs, and missions. Feel free to post ?s or comments on the sheets or the 'open forum' gsheet. 

Thanks,
