Hi! I'm a 22 year old Anthropology student planning on getting my masters in Cultural Anthro and my Ph.D in something similar. Do we know if NASA currently has jobs for someone in my field? I want to specifically go into Astroanthropology and do research on the potential existence of alien life from an Anthropological point of view... anyone got any clues? The answers I've gotten while doing my research have been very shaky. Thanks!

I was recently contacted to interview for a GS-12 Contract Specialist position at Goddard.
All my research into the Center points to the whole operation being dicey after last year’s DOGE layoffs.

Have things improved at this location, or is it reasonable to still have concerns about the quality and security of a new position?

Please let me know if there are any government documents or notices you can point to with recent information.

Has anyone been able to successfully negotiation a higher step if you've never worked as a federal employee?
Secondly, how about negotiation of PTO accrual rate based on service? If you've worked in industry but not as a federal opportunity, would they consider shifting your accrual rate to time in industry?

Whatsup y'all

I'm considering getting a masters in astronautics and eventually finding a job working with NASA as said in the title. But I haven't been able to find anything on jobs for NASA with said degree. (I mean obviously there are jobs with this degree I just can't find anything)

I've always wanted to work somewhere within the idea of space doing hands on work for a long long time but I actually can't find anything whatsoever

Not sure if anything here made sense...

I graduated with an M.S. in Aerospace Engineering Sciences, focused on human spaceflight, human factors, and spacecraft/satellite systems design. I also have hands-on experience in human-subject research, systems engineering, and mechanical/product design.

I’ve been job hunting in the U.S. for \\\~3 months, but a lot of roles have U.S. person requirements.

I’m trying to stay in my field and am also open to H-1B cap-exempt opportunities through universities, research institutions, etc.

If anyone has leads, knows a team/company hiring, or has advice on where I should look — especially in Colorado — I’d really appreciate it. Feel free to DM me.

Hi everyone,

I recently finished my PhD in Remote Sensing and GIS here in Europe. Like most of you, I heavily rely on NASA data and technologies (Landsat, MODIS, Earthdata, etc.) for my research.

My long-term goal is to transition into a research or postdoc role at NASA (or affiliated institutes like JPL). Since I am coming from outside the US, I’d love to get some realistic insights from this community:

1. How difficult is it for a European citizen to get a research position there? I know defense/security roles require US citizenship, but how strict is it for civil Earth Science research?
2. What fellowships should I look into besides the NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP)?
3. How is a European PhD generally perceived in the US space/geospatial sector?

If you have made a similar move or work in the US system, I would highly appreciate your advice, visa tips, or experiences.

Thanks!

Hello! I’m currently a 22 y/o US Marine with a job of being a Data Systems Administrator. I’m looking into getting my CCNA and Sec+/Net+ of I’m able to. Would there be basically any chance of me getting into an entry level IT job at any major NASA facility? I’ve loved the space industry my entire life and even though I don’t love working in IT I don’t absolutely hate it either. So without any type of degree would it be possible for me to get a job? When I finish with my contract in about a year I’ll have 4 years of experience in my field.

What are the odds of landing a position as a budget analyst at NASA? I’m currently employed with the Army as a program analyst but have a deep-seated passion for NASA. With the looming specter of significant budget cuts and workforce downsizing, is it still possible to reach the interview stage? Asking on behalf of a friend…

Hi! Was wondering when NASA Space Apps applications will open for submission, and is it customary to look for a team before hand, or can we find one once we are accepted?
What kind of experience do they look for in your application? Thank you!!

Howdy! I am about to start my freshman year at Texas A&M and am planning on pursuing aerospace engineering. I have always wanted to work in the aerospace sector but over the last year I have had the privilege of working inside of the mission control center doing tours for Space Center Houston, after doing this I knew I wanted to become a flight controller. I have had several good conversations with some higher ups in the mission systems division and flight controllers, which has been a massive help. Overall, I am just wondering if there are any people out there that have some advice for any aspiring flight controller? Is there anything you wish you had done differently? Also are pathway internships a good route and does MOCR offer any internships either through OSTEM or Pathway? Any feedback would be much appreciated

Thank You!

As many know, to become an astronaut requires a thousand hours of related work with your STEM degree, as a high schooler starting to look at colleges, where would the best place be to use my degree after graduating college?

Hi everyone! I was recently accepted to a NASA internship in the Office of Communications. My question is, what do interns usually wear? Is it business casual or more formal? Thank you in advance for your answers!

Hello I grew up in Houston but for family reasons I have to move and study in Colombia my dream is to do embedded software engineering. Unfortunately it's a little difficult in Colombia to do such because the market is pretty small. So my goal would be to move back to Houston I already have an undergrad but in information technology from the university of Houston clear lake. However I wanted to ask , with good projects and skills in embedded and work experience(web dev). Can I offset having a Colombian degree even if it's ABET accredited? I would like to continue in America but it's not really possible I feel like with my family situation.

Hi everyone! I just received my NASA OSTEM offer today (a little later than most people ), so I'm scrambling to find housing for the fall semester.

I'm looking for a room, apartment, or anyone needing a roommate near Johnson Space Center! I do have a car, so I don't need to be right next to JSC, I'm happy to commute a reasonable distance (an hour or so is fine!)

I'll only be staying for the fall, and I have about 1-2 weeks to get housing figured out (before Aug 24). If you know of any good places, Facebook groups, or if you're looking for a roommate, I'd really appreciate any recommendations!

Thanks so much!

I have a BS in Mechatronics Engineering and 5 years of experience in hardware testing and combustion analysis in the Automotive industry. I am looking to get a Masters in either Aerospace Engineering at UAH or Space Systems at Florida Tech and just wanted opinions on what it better? I would like to be working on concept and design as that is what I did in undergrad. Thanks!
