  "account": "NASA is seeking an internship candidate to utilize Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools for enhancement of astrophysics missions. The program, announced on September 3, 2026, is part of the Astrophysics Division at NASA Headquarters and involves collaboration with the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Fermi team.\n\nThe primary objective of this internship is to harness Generative AI (GenAI) for mining online resources and tracking publications that utilize data from the Fermi gamma-ray space telescope. The intern, who could be one or more individuals, will work with NASA Headquarters and the Fermi team.\n\nThis role involves the utilization of code-based tools such as Python alongside GenAI prompt engineering techniques. The main deliverable is a dashboard and database that will cover the usage of Fermi data over the past 18 years and its impact on Astrophysics research. The internship webpage provides more information about the opportunity, along with instructions on how to apply.\n\nPlease note that the application deadline for this internship is September 14, 2026. Interested candidates are urged to visit the specified webpage for further details.",
