OPEN PERIOD:

Thursday, May 09, 2013 to Thursday, May 16, 2013

SERIES & GRADE:

GS-0899-5/6

POSITION INFORMATION:

Multiple Schedules - Internships

PROMOTION POTENTIAL: 7

DUTY LOCATIONS:

1 vacancy in the following location:
Hampton, VA

WHO MAY APPLY:

Current students enrolled or accepted for enrollment at a qualifying 
institution on a half time or full time basis pursing a Bachelor's degree in an 
appropriate field of Engineering (*Please see list of degrees in Education 
Requirements Section).

DUTIES:

Serves as a NASA's Pathways Intern Employment (IEP) Program student located in 
the Research Directorate. Participant completes assigned duties, tasks, 
readings, and developmental activities specified in the program.

This is a research student trainee position engaged in professional scientific 
and engineering work which is systematic, critical, intensive investigation 
directed toward discovering, disseminating, and applying new or expanded 
knowledge in a professional discipline. Research includes, but is not limited 
to, empirical and theoretical investigations with one or more of the following 
objectives:

Contributes to the collaborative planning and execution of flight dynamics 
investigations that require the innovative application of complex analysis 
procedures. Under the guidance and close supervision of senior technical 
colleagues, plans, coordinates, conducts, analyzes, and reports results of 
theoretical and experimental investigations with the ultimate goal of correctly 
predicting and obtaining the desired flight-dynamic characteristics for a wide 
spectrum of atmospheric vehicles. These vehicles include low-speed general 
aviation aircraft, remotely-piloted vehicles (RPVs), commercial transports, 
high-performance military aircraft, supersonic vehicles, hypersonic vehicles, 
launch vehicles, and atmospheric entry vehicles. Duties include participating 
in ground-based experiments and computations in order to quantify aerodynamic 
characteristics of vehicles (including non-linear and/or unsteady effects); 
applying current methods and exploring/developing new test techniques to 
improve measurement of dynamic aerodynamic characteristics; applying and 
interpreting established similitude relationships used in sub-scale model 
testing such as Mach Number, Reynolds Number, Froude Number, Strouhal Number, 
and methods of dynamic scaling; predicting vehicle stability and 
controllability; applying single and multi-body equations of motion for 
predicting vehicle response; and conducting flight tests of configurations 
ranging from sub-scale RPVs to full-scale vehicles.
