Hiring: Assistant Director (for remote research station in Utah)

The Mars Society is seeking applications from highly qualified people for management positions at the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) in Utah, the largest and longest-running Mars analog facility in the world. The station is set amid some of the most spectacular landscapes you will ever see, and researchers come from all over the world to work here.

We are looking for assistant directors beginning in October 2022. You must be able to work in the U.S. and possess a high level of written/spoken English fluency. This position is for in-person work only. We are looking for people who can commit to working at MDRS six months a year, although we might consider someone looking to work for three months each year. Work is generally assigned by the academic quarter.

MDRS is a remote research station. The nearest town of Hanksville, Utah is eight miles away and has very limited services. In addition, when researchers are working on campus, there is little interaction with them or other people so the job at times can be lonely and isolating. It is important that applicants understand this kind of lifestyle and know that it is a good fit for them before applying.

In addition, the work itself can at times be physically and mentally demanding, and staff frequently have to handle things alone. Proactivity in work habits is mandatory. In addition, the job requires wearing multiple hats on a daily basis, so flexibility and a positive attitude are a must.

Successful applicants should have the following skills and experiences:
Passion for the goal of getting humans to Mars and for space in general
A college degree, preferably in science or engineering
Experience in remote field work. While most research done at MDRS is Mars or space related, we welcome applications from people who have experience living and working in remote areas
Experience teaching or training groups for specific tasks or disciplines
A solid foundation in the maintenance of facilities, and the ability or willingness to learn to do to a variety of handyman type things
Previous analog astronaut, greenhouse or astronomy experience a plus
While this is not a job for the faint of heart, it is a very rewarding job. Housing and utilities are provided on campus, as is a truly magnificent sky at night.

Those interested in being considered should send their resumes and a letter of interest to [email protected]. Questions about the positions should be addressed to Dr. Shannon Rupert at [email protected].

Subject: NASA DEVELOP Opportunities - Apps Due This Friday 10/8!

The NASA DEVELOP National Program, which is open to current students and recent college graduates as well as transitioning/early career professionals, is hosting 10-week paid research opportunities in Spring 2022. Applications for the Spring close this Friday, October 8th!

NASA DEVELOP projects focus on helping local, national, and international communities address their environmental concerns while utilizing NASA's Earth observing fleet of satellites. NASA DEVELOP operates at eleven locations across the country at NASA Centers and other regional locations.
This is a great opportunity for participants who are interested in
practical applications of remote sensing and GIS, specifically in the field of Earth Science. Participants will work with NASA scientists, partner organizations, and science advisors to learn about the use of NASA Earth science data for use in water resources, disaster management, ecological forecasting, and other applications to address environmental community concerns.

Responsibilities will include: literature review, data processing and
analysis, and producing deliverables, such as a technical report,
presentation, and video. Previous GIS or remote sensing knowledge, while beneficial, is not required for acceptance. This is a multi-disciplinary opportunity for all those interested in Earth science and we encourage those in the social sciences, general science, engineering, computer science, etc. to apply.

Applicants must have excellent verbal and written communication skills and be able to work in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment. Days of the week are flexible, but applicants should be able to commit to 20 – 29 hours per week during the term. The position is paid on an hourly basis that is determined by education level.

Details about this opportunity and how to apply can be found online at
https://develop.larc.nasa.gov/. The spring position application window will be open online from August 30th through October 8th, with the term starting January 24th and lasting through April 1st. Please note some DEVELOP locations will allow for in-person opportunities while others will be
completely virtual. For virtual locations, all accepted participants must work remotely from within the United States. Details on location status will be posted on our website when the application opens.

Cascadia2021 - Opportunity for students and postdocs!
We hope to recruit field helpers to put 1,000 small temporary seismometers in the Oregon and southern Washington Coast Ranges. We would install the instruments at the end of May and recover them at the end of June and the second week of July.
The Cascadia2021 project aims to create a model of the subsurface to better understand seismic hazards associated with the Cascadia Subduction Zone. The seismometers would record continuously, providing records of ground motion from earthquakes, background noise, and any other signals that occur during the deployment period. We also hope to coordinate with other researchers to record offshore signals generated by a research ship. Offshore signals would be detected onshore only by very sensitive seismometers, and would not be felt by humans or animals or damage natural or man-made structures. Computer processing of the seismic signals would allow us to generate an image of the subsurface geology to a depth of ~40 km (25 miles) using mathematical techniques similar to those used in medical imaging.
Qualifications
We are looking for about 17 participants across these levels: high school, community college, undergrad, grad and postdoc applicants. There is a need for both experienced and inexperienced field hands; each team will include at least one experienced field hand. We hope to receive applications from students representing the full spectrum of society including students with lived experiences such as veterans, non-traditional students as well as those disabilities that do not limit work in the field.
Seismic bootcamp
The primary deployment push will be preceded by a “seismic bootcamp” which will include discussions of regional tectonics, general seismology, and data processing as well as detailed instructions on how to interpret road logs and practice installing seismic stations. Students will be provided with brochures and training on effective methods for presenting the project to the public. The boot camp will also include a discussion of potential follow up student research projects using the data we acquire.
COVID-19
While it is extremely difficult to predict what covid-19 protocols will be in place in late May and June, 2021, we anticipate moving forward with this program and will adapt the seismic boot camp and field procedures to be compatible with any restrictions in place at that time. We will do our best to keep applicants updated as protocols are updated.
Dates
Participation in both the seismic boot camp and the deployment/recovery time blocks 2 and 3 is required*. We encourage students to participate in both deployment and recovery so that their memory of the deployment sites will inform the recovery and to give them the opportunity to participate in all aspects of the experiment. However, inability to participate in the recovery is not a disqualifying factor.
*may be waived in exceptional cases
May 25 - May 27 | Seismic bootcamp for all participants [required]
Starting May 28 | First deployment. Duration ~1 week
Starting June 26 | First recovery & second deployment. Duration ~1 week
Starting July 11 | Second recovery. Duration ~4 days
Finances
We will cover your food and lodging during the seismic bootcamp and field work. A strictly limited amount of support is available to help cover travel to the field site - please indicate in the application form if you are applying to be considered and justify your need.
Applications are now being accepted until March 8, 2021. For more information and to apply online, please visit the GeoPRISMS website at: http://geoprisms.org/call-cascadia-2021
Applicants will be notified by April 15. For further information, please contact:
