Current students enrolled or accepted for enrollment at a qualifying
institution pursuing a PhD degree in an appropriate field of Engineering
(*Please see list of degrees in Education Requirements Section).
JOB SUMMARY:
NASA, the world's leader in space and aeronautics is always seeking outstanding
scientists, engineers, and other talented professionals to carry forward the
great discovery process that its mission demands. Creativity - Ambition -
Teamwork - A sense of Daring - and a Probing Mind - That's what it takes to
join NASA, one of the best places to work in the Federal Government.
NASA Langley Research Center, founded in 1917, is the nation's first civilian
aeronautical research facility and NASA's original field center. To this day,
NASA Langley researchers carry on the legacy of their pioneering predecessors.
Whether it's testing airbags for space capsule landings, developing
technologies to allow aircraft to fly at supersonic and hypersonic speeds or
studying earth's atmosphere to better understanding global climate change, NASA
Langley remains on the leading edge and it has since 1917.
Positions will be filled under the NASA Pathways Intern Employment Program
(IEP). This program provides students in qualifying educational institutions
with paid opportunities to work in agencies and explore Federal careers while
completing their education.
*Relocation expenses will not be paid.
*This vacancy may be used to fill additional positions within 90 days of the
close date.

GS-12 starting salary: $68,809 (Completion of 1 year of Doctoral Program)
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.
Develops computational damage mechanics analysis for study of damage in
structural materials. Supports development of computational methods needed to
predict damage onset and growth, fracture, static strength and life of advanced
engineering materials, including one or more of the following: metallic,
composite and/or hybrid materials. Develops and implements methodologies that
exploit state-of-the-art computer languages, architectures and infrastructures.
Conducts analytical and computational investigations into fatigue and fracture
response of materials and structures subjected to static, cyclic and impact
loads under representative environments. Integrates computational results with
relevant experimental results and findings. Develops methods to manipulate and
visualize large data sets that result from analyses and/or experimental testing.
QUALIFICATIONS REQUIRED:
NASA Pathways candidates will meet the qualification requirements below:

2) Be enrolled or accepted for enrollment as a full-time or half-time student
into an accredited college or university in a degree seeking program.
3) Currently has and maintains a cumulative GPA of 2.9 or higher on a scale of
4.0.
4) If selected, must sign Student Pathways Program Agreement and provide
official transcript at the end of each academic term.
5) Must be able to complete 640 hours of work experience prior to or
concurrently upon completing degree course work requirements.
6) Must have at least one year of academic study remaining toward completion of
current academic degree.
Appointment Requirements:
GS-11: Accepted into a Doctoral Program.
