- Program: NASA DEVELOP Summer 2025 Positions
- Location: Various
- Description: NASA DEVELOP is an applied science capacity-building program in NASA’s Earth Science Division. In collaboration with partner organizations, NASA DEVELOP conducts 10-week feasibility studies that address local, national, and international environmental and policy concerns using data collected by NASA’s Earth-observing fleet of satellites.
As a capacity-building program, DEVELOP offers program participants opportunities to learn about Earth science and develop research, collaboration, and science communication skills. NASA DEVELOP research teams are interdisciplinary and built around members from diverse backgrounds, differing skill levels in Earth science research and science communication, and the unique experiences and strengths each participant brings to a team.
No previous experience in Earth science research is necessary for these positions, and applicants with backgrounds in other fields of study are encouraged to apply.
Weekly work schedules are flexible, but applicants should be able to commit to 20 – 29 hours of work per week during the project term. These positions are paid on an hourly basis, and pay rates are determined by education level and geographic location. A list of projects for the summer term can be found here. Please note that some DEVELOP locations allow for in-person opportunities while others are virtual. For virtual locations, all accepted participants must work remotely from within the United States.
