[ES_JOBS_NET] Earth Data Fellowship (Development Seed + AWS)

[Anna Scott]

10 week summer fellowship in DC on climate and data:
https://developmentseed.org/careers/fellowship/

As a Development Seed / Earth on AWS Data Fellow, you will collaborate with
the Development Seed team to advance the field of Earth observation data.
You will apply machine learning and / or data processing to advance our
understanding of how Earth data can be organized and mined for deep
insights. You will develop open source software that will contribute new
Earth data formats, architecture or applications.

Your work will help Development Seed partners (organizations like the World
Bank, the Red Cross, the Global Resilience Partnership, and NASA) to make
better decisions and deliver impactful services. This fellowship is offered
in a collaboration with the Earth on AWS program. Fellows will have access
to AWS computing resource and will receive support and training from AWS
machine learning experts.

The Fellowship is a full-time 10 week position (with permanent potential)
and will allow you to learn about the industries and communities we work
in, and push our team and projects forward. Your main focus will be on one
of our open-source projects that supports accessible, open earth data.
However, you will also have the ability to directly contribute to projects
with leading civic and government organizations and have positive real
world impact.

Ideal candidates have experience with:

   - Earth data formats (Cloud-optimized GeoTIFFs)
   - Machine Learning Frameworks (TensorFlow, Torch, Caffe, etc.)
   - AWS Services (EC2, Batch, SageMaker, Rekognition, Lambda, S3)
   - Computer Vision (OpenCV, Scikit, etc.)
   - Remotely sensed data and associated libraries (GDAL, QGIS)
   - Node.js or Python

If this sounds like you, send your resume to jobs at developmentseed.org. Tell
us about yourself and what you’d love to work on at Development Seed. Not
sure you tick all the boxes? We encourage you to apply - we have a culture
of learning, and if this job description gets you excited, we want to hear
from you.
