winning Scientific Visualization Studio (<a href="http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/" style="color: rgb(0, 46, 86); text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; font-size: 13px;">http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov</a>). The Science Visualizer Fellowship is a yearlong position
designed to nurture emerging data visualizers who wish to explore the intersection of science and art through science story telling, data processing, and scientific visualization. Applicants should have a computer science background, a strong interest or
background in computer graphics, and some coursework in physical sciences. The position is aimed at recent university graduates and graduate students interested in creating visually compelling cinematic-quality scientific visualizations for some of NASA’s
most exciting science missions. The position involves working closely with other NASA visualizers, scientists, producers, and writers to: develop concepts and visualization storyboards; write code, scripts, and shaders to process and ingest science data into
Maya and Renderman; develop Maya scenes (geometry, shaders, and camera paths); and render the visualizations sometimes under tight deadlines. The candidate will be assigned a mentor and will have ample assistance learning how we work. This opportunity is
a chance to share results from NASA’s remote sensing missions on topics such as global precipitation patterns, sea ice changes, ocean productivity, greenhouse gas measurements, hurricanes, natural disasters, discoveries on Mars, lunar topography, space weather,
and solar events.</span></p>
