Hi CEE Students,

See below about 10-week paid research opportunities with the NASA DEVELOP National Program, open to current students (undergraduate or graduate), recent college graduates, and transitioning/early career professionals. 

This would be of particular interest to those focusing on environmental engineering.

NASA DEVELOP is an applied science and capacity building program in NASA’s Earth Science Division. Our projects help local, state, and national communities address environmental and public policy issues through the use of satellite-sourced data and imagery, geographic analyses, and other tools. We have 10 offices throughout the country with both in-person and virtual opportunities. 

DEVELOP participants work in teams with partner organizations, NASA scientists, and science advisors to learn how NASA Earth science data can be applied to eight thematic areas: agriculture, climate, disasters, ecological forecasting, energy, health and air quality, water resources, and wildfires. Responsibilities include literature review, data processing and analysis, and communicating the methodology and results of scientific research in presentations and a technical report.

It is helpful to have some experience in Earth science/environmental studies/environmental justice, science communication, remote sensing, and/or GIS, but it is not required! As a capacity building program, we provide a space for participants to learn more about these areas in a hands-on project, as well as share the skills they already have. 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.
