Hello Beth,
 
Hope you are doing well.

I've met Dr. Anthony Robinson at AAG yesterday and discussed some open positions available with my company (SSAI, Inc) for some very exciting projects at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD. All these positions involve directly working on projects at NASA and involve working with NASA Earth Science Data, particularly with MODIS Aqua and Terra data.
 
Dr. Robinson recommended that I send you the listings to see if anybody from Penn State (on campus/world campus) would be interested in the positions. I'm attaching four position descriptions that are currently open. I am wondering if you could advertise these positions via relevant platforms (mailing lists, etc).
 
Anybody interested can contact me directly either here (ishriram@gmail.com) or preferably at my work address at shriram.ilavajhala@nasa.gov for an informal chat. I can quickly arrange for an interview with my team for anybody interested. We are flexible on experience requirements, as long as the individual has the right set of technical skills and enthusiasm.
 
Please let me know if you have any questions for me. I sincerely thank you for your help.
 
Regards,
Shriram
