MC Begin forwarded message: From: "Jonathan O'Brien - NOAA Affiliate" <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Date: January 10, 2018 at 10:11:19 AM EST To: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Subject: NASA DEVELOP National Program Develop your career with NASA’s Applied Sciences’ Capacity Building DEVELOP National Program 10-week paid and volunteer research opportunities with the NASA DEVELOP program are open to current students and recent college graduates. The application window has just opened for the summer term. Please read below for additional information about DEVELOP and how to apply. NASA DEVELOP projects focus on addressing local and international community concerns while utilizing NASA's Earth observations at twelve locations across the country. This is a great opportunity for participants who are interested in practical applications of remote sensing and GIS, specifically in the field of Earth Science. Participants will work with NASA scientists, partner organizations, and science advisors to learn about the use of NASA remote sensing imagery for use in water resources, disaster management, ecological forecasting, and other applications to address environmental community concerns. Responsibilities will include: literature review, data processing and analysis, 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, geospatial science, engineering, computer science, and others 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 summer term. The position is paid on an hourly basis that is determined by education level. Details about this opportunity and how to apply can be found online at <http://develop.larc.nasa.gov/> http://develop.larc.nasa.gov/. The summer application window will be open online from January 8th through February 16th. The term starts June 4th and lasts through August 10th. We also have spring and summer opportunities coming up later this year. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
