NASA is looking for well-rounded students who are self-motivated, passionate, and want to join our ranks as we lead human space exploration. This position provides students with the opportunity to explore NASA careers and gain meaningful developmental work experience. Several announcements open on Monday, September 9, 2019, for positions with Johnson Space Center (JSC) in either Houston, Texas or White Sands Test Facility (WSTF) in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
What is the Pathways Internship Program at NASA JSC in Houston or WSTF in Las Cruces?
You will have the opportunity to contribute to our continued work of building a new NASA vehicle to enable human deep space exploration, work on the operation and development of the International Space Station in cooperation with our International Partners, and work with industry to help foster the commercial space sector.
Our Pathways Internship Program follows a cooperative education model where current undergraduate and graduate students gain valuable work experience on an alternating school/work basis, and serves as a pipeline for our future full-time employees. Interns receive the same benefits as full-time employees such as bi-weekly pay, insurance, and paid time-off.
You will rotate each work tour into a different functional area at JSC or WSTF, which allows you to try out different career paths while you are still in school and decide what you want to do after graduation. Each time you come for a work tour you'll be assigned a mentor who will work side-by-side with you to assign you a meaningful project and provide the tools/knowledge to complete it.
One important note: Each job announcement will be considered closed at 10:59 p.m. CST on either the date that a specific number applications are received (The “Cap”) or on Wednesday, September 11, 2019 – whichever occurs first. It is recommended that you do not wait until the deadline to submit your application or you may miss out. All applications submitted on the first day are guaranteed to be given consideration.
As you apply, please read the postings in their entirety to understand the unique requirements for each announcement and to respond to the individual description.
