For those that are or know recent graduates you may want to check out the NASA Animation Fellowship. Although it is not stated in the description at the moment this position is for recent graduates and you must be a U.S. citizen.
The NASA Animation Fellowship is a yearlong program for animators wishing to explore the intersection of animation, motion graphics and science illustration. You will work with an outstanding team of animators, data visualizers, video producers, and science writers as you produce animations for some of NASAs most exciting science missions: mind bending results from the Hubble Space Telescope, the inner workings of the hurricane heat engine, rivers of plasma racing beneath the surface of the Sun, an audacious new concept to sample the atmosphere of Venus, and extra solar planets made of clouds, rubies and sapphires.
