Announcement of Opportunity (NASA Jargon) [leq: in a nearby by galaxy, close, closer, closest.....] If you are a student looking for employment next summer, now is the time to prepare a resume and fill out the application form for NASA summer employment. This message is being posted for those with dreams from youth. This is your chance. Do not delay. This is a crude posting, but my time has run out. the window for submitting SF 171s is January 1 to January 15. If you are interested, you should have your resume and forms filled out before January 1. NASA is the US civilian space agency [we are not part of the DOD]. As a reminder, we have projects which deal with manned and unmanned space, near Earth orbit as well as deep space, aeronautics, and many aspects of air research. NASA is in desparate need of young computer types [You're our only hope...]. The resources within NASA vary from supercomputers such as Crays to older minis. The problems and people are interesting; I have worked with varying problems: from Voyager (computer graphics and image processing with Carl Sagan) to most recently, nuclear winter with Tom Ackerman. What we are looking for: exposure to numerical methods > General operating systems background > Parallel processing > Computer graphics > Simulation > Expert systems and other forms of AI. > Computer aided design > General software engineering Standard Form 171. To apply (with the exception of JPL), please fill out a standard Form 171. This is the form used for all employment within the Federal Government. If you are uncertain about anything regarding summer hiring, you can mail me (preferred) or phone me before the end of December at (415)-694-6453. Problems working with NASA. Let's be truthful. Salary can be a problem, so if you would prefer working for a contractor, state that on your cover letter. We will try to forward resumes if possible. Another problem is locale. Sorry, we bought land where it was cheap (at the time). Some positions sound like they use obsolete equipment (in some cases this is true, but we recognize the problem and are buying state-of-the-art equipment, manpower is our biggest problem). The following descriptions are obviously biased to the Centers I have worked at and toward contacts I have. If you are not interested in a computing position, either the contact or myself should try to help you. [If you are mailing to specific people, mail ASAP, don't wait for Jan. 1.] E. N. Miya MS 233-14 NASA Ames Research Center Moffett Field, CA 94035 Including the Dryden Flight Research Facility (Ames South) located at Edwards AFB where the Space Shuttle lands. We also have numerous contractors including the Research Institute for Advanced Computer Science. We can forward a resume if so indicated (171 for RIACS is not necessary). Ames has a Cyber 205, two Cray XMPs, and numerous other machines. Located in the heart of Santa Clara Valley. E. Ng Jet Propulsion Laboratory California Institute of Technology 4800 Oak Grove Dr. Pasadena, CA 91109 Work at JPL includes VLSI CAD, image processing, general purpose computing on IBMs, Univacs, and the normal complement of VAXen and PDPs. JPL is involved in deep space missions and communications. A form 171 is not necessary. E. Flinn NASA Headquarters Washington DC 20546 Dr. Flinn is with the Office of Space Sciences. There is limited use of computers at NASA HQ, but I do know people who have summer jobbed in WDC. Joe Bredekamp NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Greenbelt, MD 20771 GSFC has a Cyber 205, Amdahls soon to be running UTS, and performs work on unmanned near Earth space missions. They are located just outside Washington DC. Charles Putt NASA Lewis Research Center 21000 Brookpark Rd. Cleveland, OH 44135 LeRC does work on aerodynamics. They have a Cray-1S, Amdahls soon to be running UTS. Chris Culbert NASA Johnson Manned Space Center Houston, TX The heart of all manned space operations. One of the largest NASA centers. They run on IBMs and Univacs on the large-end to HP 9000s on the small end. Carl Delaue NASA Kennedy Space Flight Center Titusville, FL 32899 The Eastern launch complex for major flights. Many small minis and other computers such as IBMs. NASA Marshall Space Flight Center Huntsville, AL The largest NASA Center. It does work on manned and unmanned space. They have a separate facility known as the McCloud Computer Center which houses large IBMs. Sue Voight NASA Langley Research Center Hampton, VA 23665 LaRC has a Cyber 203 and a small number of VAXen. Those interested in numerical analysis should know that ICASE (Inst. for Comp. Appl. in Sci. and Eng.) is located at Langley. Send your resumes (if interested in ICASE) to Bob Voight. If I did not indicate a point of contact, mail me your resume and a copy to the Office of Personnel at that site. I will try to help you out as best as possible. Cooperative work with a university or college is possible. If you have an interest in this, make this clear in your cover letter and check with your local work-study office. If you are a foreign national, this can get sticky, but it is possible to get jobs in NASA. NASA and its contractors are equal opportunity employers. (usually) --eugene miya NASA Ames Res.

In the Announcement of Opportunity for summer positions in NASA, I have a
correction:
For the JPL contact, please mail resumes to:
Carol Snyder
MS 180-704
Jet Propulsion Lab
California Institute of Technology
4800 Oak Grove Dr.
Pasadena, CA 91109
The original posting had Ed Ng as a point of contact and this has had to
change.

This is a follow on.
NASA thanks you for your letters and resumes. The response has been
overwhelming.
One change: those of you who have not mailed a resume to the Jet Propulsion
Lab, NOTE an address change:
Please mail your resume to:
Marye Leslie
MS 249-Lobby
Jet Propulsion Lab
Caltech
4800 Oak Grove Dr.
Pasadena, CA 91109
Foreign nationals with a green card are okay for JPL.
Please disregard earlier posting to Ed Ng or Carol Snyder. They have been
swamped.
Also, for mailing to other NASA centers: YOU MUST BE A CITIZEN OF THE
UNITED STATES to apply. We have received several resumes from
non-US citizen, sorry, we cannot take you. Do not forget to state that you are
seeking summer positions!

Ah, my calendar reminds it is the approach of a new summer hiring period. I don't have the time to be eloquent, so I dug up and modified the posting I did last year at this time. Sorry for the delay as I was in Washington DC. I realize some schools are out or just starting finals. But anyway, It's time for university students to realize they MUST start preparing resumes if they want the best summer opportunities: outside of NASA as well as inside. --eugene So here goes: Announcement of Opportunity (NASA Jargon) [leq: in a nearby by galaxy, close, closer, closest.....] If you are a student looking for employment next summer, now is the time to prepare a resume and fill out the application form for NASA summer employment.

Some sites I can think about are near VAFB, White Sands, NM, the McCloud facility in LA, the Wallops Island facility, and the Goddard Space Institute near NY (uncertain about their summer policies).
