NASA Internship

The NASA DEVELOP Program focuses on helping local and international communities better understand environmental concerns through the use of NASA's Earth observations. NASA DEVELOP operates at twelve locations across the country including locations at NASA centers and other regional locations. 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. Program participants work with NASA scientists, partner organizations, and science advisors to learn about the use of NASA Earth science data for application in water resources, disaster management, ecological forecasting, and other applications to address environmental community concerns.

Responsibilities include: literature review, data processing and analysis, and producing deliverables, such as a technical report, presentation, and video. Previous GIS or remote sensing knowledge, while beneficial, is not required for acceptance. This is a multi-disciplinary opportunity for all those interested in Earth science and we encourage those in the social sciences, general science, engineering, computer science, etc. to apply. Applicants must have excellent verbal and written communication skills and be able to work in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment. Days of the week are flexible, but applicants should be able to commit to 20 – 29 hours per week during the spring term. The position is paid on an hourly basis that is determined by education level.
