NASA Planetary Science Summer School
NASA Science Mission Design Schools
Now through March 18, 2025, NASA is encouraging applications for its 37th Annual Planetary Science Summer School. Offered by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, PSSS is a 3-month long early career development experience to help prepare the next generation of planetary science and engineering mission leaders. Participants learn the process of developing a science hypothesis-driven robotic space mission in a concurrent engineering environment while getting an in-depth, first-hand look at mission design, mission life cycle, costs, schedule and the trade-offs inherent in each.
Applicants with the following education and career experience are eligible: Science and engineering Doctoral candidates (advancement to candidacy required), recent Ph.D.’s (up to three years beyond their Ph.D.), Postdocs, Junior Faculty with a Ph.D., and non-research Engineering Master-level students within six to nine months of graduation will be considered on a space-available basis.
There is no charge to attend. Open to U.S. Citizens and legal permanent residents and a limited number of Foreign Nationals from non-designated countries living within the U.S at the time of application and during the full session. We strive to create a welcoming environment where participants’ contributions and unique perspectives are valued.
Session 1: Preparatory Sessions May 8 – July 24.
Culminating Week with JPL’s Team X July 28 - August 1.
Session 2: Preparatory Sessions May 22 - August 7.
Culminating Week with JPL’s Team X August 11 - 15.
PSSS is roughly equivalent in workload to a rigorous 3-credit graduate-level course, requiring an average effort of 10-12 hours per week. Participants spend the majority of the first 10 weeks in preparatory webinars acting as a science mission team, prior to spending the final culminating week being mentored by JPL’s Advance Project Design Team, or “Team X” to refine their mission concept design, then present it to a mock review board of NASA Center experts.
Register here for PSSS Pre-application Q&A Webinar on February 12, 2025 from 1:00 – 2:00 pm Pacific Time.

MIT Open Learning, Universal AI RPF due March 14, $20K provided for selected 8-lecture module
Who: Graduate Students and Postdocs
Deadline: March 14, 2025
Posted: 2/28/2025
To address the growing need in understanding AI technology, MIT Open Learning is developing Universal Artificial Intelligence (UAI). Combining MIT faculty’s subject matter expertise and MIT Open Learning’s track record of delivering innovative digital learning experiences, UAI will teach the fundamentals of AI to a broad audience. It includes a horizontal collection of modules covering the fundamentals of AI with an application-oriented process as well as vertical modules of AI + X highlighting the various applications of AI in specific fields, such as climate, energy, health, and biology.
MIT Open Learning invites MIT faculty and postdocs to submit proposals for AI + X modules based on their research and area of expertise, such as AI + Oncology, AI + Materials Science, and AI + Drug Design — among many others. These modules should consist of either four (4) or eight (8) lectures. Given the rapid pace of change of the AI field, these modules will be easier to keep up-to-date and relevant to a universal audience. The selected modules will be integrated into our UAI collection. Faculty and postdocs will be featured on the UAI website.
Proposals should be submitted electronically to Megan Mitchell at meganmit@mit.edu by March 14, 2025. Please use the following subject line: Proposal: Universal AI Module. Submissions will be reviewed based on clarity, relevance, and the potential impact on the field and student learning. Selected modules will be announced April 4, 2025.
Faculty and postdocs whose proposals are selected will receive $2,500 per completed lecture for a total of $10,000 for a four-lecture module and $20,000 for an eight-lecture module.
MIT Open Learning will also provide up to $5,000 to support TAs for selected modules if faculty need to hire a TA.
Additional information can be found in the recent Faculty Newsletter article: How MIT Can Educate the World for the Era of AI. Inquiries may be directed to Megan Mitchell at meganmit@mit.edu.
