NASA MOSAICS Summer Research Fellowship

Supported by a grant from NASA's MOSAICS program, this opportunity provides students with a chance to spend a summer at NASA's Ames Research center working with NASA scientists to build sensors that measure common components of air pollution.

These sensors are then brought back to campus to be deployed locally. Students also have the opportunity to continue working with the data during the academic year as paid student researchers. The priority deadline is March 10, 2025. Applications will be accepted through April 4, 2025. Learn more.
