Announcements of Opportunity
Special Note for SURF@JPL 2024
JPL is operating under a continuing resolution (meaning they are waiting for approval from Congress of NASA's 2024 budget). Additionally, due to other factors, JPL is concerned about a potential budget decrease. This will impact the number of summer internships available. We are working closely with JPL leadership to minimize the impact, but you can expect that AOs will likely not get posted until later this term. To accommodate this later timeline we will offer a second SURF@JPL application deadline. (This extension is for SURF@JPL only.)
- Students who find a JPL mentor early are encouraged to apply by the regular February 22 deadline. For applicants who meet this deadline, awards will be announced on April 1.
- Students who find a JPL mentor later will need to apply by April 19. Awards for this round of applications will be announced on May 6.
Students are also encouraged to apply to the JPL SIP program, which has an application deadline of March 29. For more information about SIP, visit: https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/edu/intern/apply/summer-internship-program
SURF@JPL: Announcements of Opportunity
Announcements of Opportunity are posted by JPL technical staff for the SURF@JPL program. Each AO indicates whether or not it is open to non-Caltech students. If an AO is NOT open to non-Caltech students, please DO NOT contact the mentor.
Announcements of Opportunity are posted as they are received. Please check back regularly for new AO submissions!
**Students applying for JPL projects should complete a SURF@JPL application instead of a "regular" SURF application.
**Students pursuing opportunities at JPL must be U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents.

Laboratory studies in Atmospheric Science
(JPL AO No. 15282)
|
||||||||
Disciplines: | Environmental Science, Chemistry | ||||||||
Mentor: |
Carl Percival,
(JPL),
carl.j.percival@jpl.nasa.gov, |
||||||||
Background: | The JPL Earth Science Section carries out experimental research in atmospheric chemical processes including kinetics and photochemistry. The research focuses on the sources and fate of pollution in the atmosphere. In particular, on the photochemical oxidation of atmospheric volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which has major implications for urban and regional air quality, acid deposition, and global climate. | ||||||||
Description: | The research will involve lab studies to improve our understanding of the rates and mechanisms of atmospheric reactions that affect air quality, stratospheric ozone depletion and radiative forcing. Participants will work with JPL staff members, postdocs and graduate students to acquire and analyze lab data, and assist in writing peer-reviewed publications | ||||||||
