Upcoming Planetary Science Research Positions at NASA's Marshall Space
Flight Center

The Heliophysics and Planetary Science Branch at NASA's Marshall Space
Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, plans to offer multiple positions
seeking scientists to conduct research and develop applications to solve
challenging Planetary Science problems. Outstanding candidates have the
potential to be selected for federal employment, joining more than 30 other
federal employees, academic staff, and contractors supporting Planetary
Science efforts within the Branch, a subset of the Science Research and
Projects Division, and the Science and Technology Office at Marshall Space
Flight Center.

Research Space Scientist positions will be offered for researchers in
planetary science, with expertise in remote sensing of planets, moons, and
asteroids, and the development of instrumentation for planetary science
investigations. The selected candidates will add substantive capability
synergistic with the current staff and the goals of NASA's Artemis program
and MSFC's strategy to integrate human space flight and science robotic
capabilities in the Artemis era. The candidates will have an opportunity to
lead the development of research proposals for new activities, execute
funded projects, and share their accomplishments through conference
participation and appropriate peer-reviewed literature.

The positions are expected to be announced in autumn 2020 under the category
of Research Space Scientist and at the GS-13 grade level. Successful
candidates will have had experience applying advanced tools, techniques,
and/or data analysis/mining/machine learning techniques to datasets
collected with remote sensing measurement techniques. Candidates should have
made regular contributions to a research team with some guidance and
direction, developed new analysis techniques to solve challenging problems,
made contributions to peer-reviewed proposals in response to technical
solicitations, and have contributed to peer-reviewed publications as part of
a demonstrated publication record.

The formal announcement of the opportunity and related requirements will be
posted in the near future at USAJobs (www.usajobs.gov
<http://www.usajobs.gov> ) and can be found by searching with keyword NASA
and location of Huntsville, Alabama. Applications are only accepted through
the USAJobs portal, and United States citizenship is required to be eligible
for these civil service positions. Candidates are encouraged to create a
USAJobs profile well in advance to populate their resume and may also
subscribe to USAJobs alerts received via email. Informal inquiries can be
directed to Dr. David McKenzie,  <mailto:david.e.mckenzie at nasa.gov>
david.e.mckenzie at nasa.gov, 256-961-7896.
