NASA LPI Summer Intern Program in Planetary Science
Applications are now open for the NASA LPI Summer Intern Program in Planetary Science.
The Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI) is a scientific research institute dedicated to study of the solar system, its formation, evolution, and current state. The institute is part of the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) and is supported by the Science Mission Directorate of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Located at 3600 Bay Area Boulevard in Houston, Texas, the LPI maintains an extensive collection of lunar and planetary data, carries out education and public outreach programs, and offers meeting coordination and publishing services.
Each year, LPI hosts a Summer Intern Program providing undergraduates an opportunity to participate in cutting-edge research in the planetary sciences. LPI Summer Interns work one-on-one with scientists at the LPI or at the NASA Johnson Space Center to complete research projects of current interest. The Summer Intern Program allows participants to experience a real research environment, to learn from leading planetary scientists, and to preview careers in research.
Who can apply: The program is open to international undergraduates as well as students from the United States.
College undergraduates with at least 50 semester hours of credit interested in pursuing a career in the sciences are eligible. Students with majors in a physical or natural science, engineering, computer science, or mathematics have an advantage, but any eligible student may apply. The program is really geared for students finishing their sophomore (2nd) and junior (3rd) years.
Selection is based on these criteria: (1) scholarship, curriculum, and experience; (2) career objectives and scientific interest; and (3) match of interest of applicant with available research projects.
Areas of Research: Lunar Science and Exploration, Planetary, Remote Sensing and Spectroscopy, Image Processing, Planetary Geology and Surface Processes, Impact Studies, Geophysical Data Analysis and Modeling, Physics and Chemistry of Planetary Atmospheres, Meteorites and Sample Analysis, Interplanetary Dust and Presolar Grains, Mineralogy/Petrology.
Location: Lunar and Planetary Institute or NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas
Duration: 10 weeks (June 6-August 12, 2016) and the start dates for the internship are flexible. The program tries to be as accommodating as possible.
Stipend: You will receive a $5,675 stipend plus $1000 US travel stipend, or $1,500 foreign travel reimbursement for foreign interns.
