Student Job Opportunities

Description of Positions:

The Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of
Colorado is seeking undergraduate or graduate students to participate
in the development of mission operations, data processing, and data
analysis and visualization systems for present and future NASA space
missions. Present projects include the Solar Stellar Irradiance
Comparison Experiment (SOLSTICE) currently flying onboard NASA's Upper
Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS). Development activities are also
currently underway for the Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment
(SORCE) mission that will launch in 2002. Students will work closely
with scientists and other professionals to support related space
sciences research, and will use cutting-edge computer hardware and
software tools.

Multiple positions are available, and responsibilities will include
participation in one or more of the following:

    - Design and development of software systems for data processing,
      management, analysis, and visualization
    - Design and development of user interfaces using Java and/or HTML
    - Database design and programming for a large scientific project database
    - Use and maintenance of existing software for data processing and analysis
    - Development and maintenance of web pages
    - Use and maintenance of Object Modeling and Configuration Management
      software tools.
    - Support the analysis of engineering and/or scientific data by generating
      plots and applying other analysis techniques.

Requirements:

    - Full-time student in good academic standing with at least 2 semesters
      remaining.
    - Interest in computer sciences, numerical analysis, database programming,
      scientific analysis, data processing, or data visualization.  An interest
      in space or atmospheric sciences is also a plus.
    - Computer experience, particularly with the Unix operating system,
      including C, C++, Java, IDL, or FORTRAN programming is desirable, but
      not required.
    - These are paid positions with competitive pay scales. Applicants should
      be able to work at least 30 hours per week during the summer and 15-20
      hours per week during the Fall and Spring semesters. Work hours are
      flexible and academic credit may be available.

How to Apply:

If interested, please send a letter of interest, a resume, and a copy of your
academic record to:
