NASA Internships

Undergraduate Student Research Programs

NASA-USRP ffers undergraduate students across the United States internships at NASA centers under the supervision of technical mentors.  This prestigious program seeks rising sophomore, junior and senior students in the disciplines of engineering, math, computer science and life/physical sciences.  Students may apply for 10-week summer session and 15-week spring or fall session.  NASA-USRP provides students with hands-on, real-life research experiences that challenge, inspire and bring practical application to complement the students' academic education.  Stipends are $6,000 for the summer session and $9,000 for fall and spring, plus a round-trip travel allowance.

Graduate Student Research Programs

The Systems Teaching Institute (STI) is offering a 10-12 week paid summer research program for graduate students in fields relevant to NASA Ames research.  Selected students will gain hands-on experience working with cutting-edge research and development teams, an increased understanding of the NASA mission, and mentoring in research management skills.  Besides working closely with Ames scientists and engineers, students will have the opportunity to attend seminars tailored to their level of expertise, career development workshops, and an end-of-summer symposium where they can share their results with other student interns.  Awards (in the form of travel support to a national conference) will be given for the best symposium poster presentations.

We have a wide variety of exciting research projects in Nanotechnology, Earth Sciences, Biotechnology, Information Sciences (including linguistics for automated systems), and Aerospace Sciences.  Additional information about our program is available at http://uarc.ucsc.edu/sti/
