Job description
from Johns Hopkins APL careersAre you interested in contributing to efforts that help us learn about the planets and moons in our solar system, even if you’ve never worked on space systems before?
The Dragonfly mission team is seeking a Student Guest Investigator to simulate seismic scattering processes within Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, using computer-based modeling and supercomputing tools.
We’re seeking Master’s and PhD students in physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology, computer science, or engineering who are strong analytical thinkers and eager to apply quantitative skills to complex planetary science challenges. This is a two-year hybrid commitment and you must remain actively enrolled for the full two-year duration of the project. Some work may be performed remotely during the academic year; however, summer work is conducted in person.
This is your opportunity to contribute to a mission to Titan while helping scientists better understand the structure and seismic activity of another world.
