The ESIP Federation's Raskin Scholarship is open to undergraduates, graduate students, and early career (5-years post degree) scientists in the Earth or computer sciences who have an interest in community evolution of Earth science data systems. Applications are accepted through April 2, 2018.

With funding from the National Science Foundation, the Unidata program is collaborating with researchers at the National Center for Atmospheric Research and the university community to organize a workshop on “Modeling Research in the Cloud.” The workshop will include speakers and participants from academia, government, and the private sector (including commercial Cloud vendors), and will be held 31 May - 2 June 2017 at the UCAR campus in Boulder, Colorado. Funding is available to sponsor attendance at the workshop by five graduate students.

Some past student representatives

The Unidata Users Committee is seeking nominations for a Graduate Student representative to join the group of nine university faculty members currently serving on this committee. Nominees should be Graduate Students who use Unidata software, hold a strong interest in the Unidata program, and have an interest in learning how a community-based program like Unidata is governed. Nominations may be made by any community member, and self-nominations are acceptable. This position will be for a two-year term beginning with the fall 2017 Users Committee meeting.

In addition to bringing a valuable student perspective to Unidata committee discussions, Graduate Student representatives make numerous professional contacts at Unidata and in the university community at large, and gain insights stemming from participation in Unidata program governance. The Unidata Users committee meets twice a year in Boulder, CO; the Unidata Program Center pays all travel and lodging expenses for the student representative's travel to committee meetings.

Spend the summer in beautiful Boulder, Colorado

The Unidata Summer Internship offers undergraduate and graduate students an opportunity to work with Unidata software engineers and scientists on projects drawn from a wide variety of areas in the atmospheric and computational sciences. Unidata's mission is to support the Earth Science research and education community with data and tools for data access, analysis, and visualization. As a Unidata intern, you'll pursue the goal of adding innovative enhancements to data access, analysis, and visualization tools developed within Unidata.

The 97th AMS Annual Meeting will be held 22-26 January 2017 at the Washington State Convention Center in Seattle, Washington. As in previous years, the Society will sponsor a Career Fair at the beginning of the meeting, in conjunction with the annual AMS Student Conference.

Participating in the AMS Career Fair is a way to attract the attention of the professionals, recent graduates, and current students expected to attend the AMS Annual Meeting in Seattle, Washington. The Career Fair provides an environment to showcase full-time and part-time job opportunities, internships, graduate programs, and professional development opportunities. The registration deadline is December 23, 2016.
