NASA Postdoctoral Program
The NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP) offers unique research opportunities to highly talented national and international individuals who serve at NASA headquarters or other agency facilities. These one- to three-year appointments are competitive and are designed to advance NASA's mission.
Visiting Scientist Positions at the Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation
We would like to call your attention to a new Visiting Scientist Program of UCAR, in cooperation with the Air Force Weather Agency (AFWA), at the NASA-NOAA- DoD Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation (JCSDA) in Camp Springs, Md. Applications are being sought for research scientists interested in advancing satellite data assimilation techniques in numerical weather prediction (NWP) and land surface modeling, and transitioning these improvements into the operational community-supported weather models run at the AFWA.
For further details and application information see:

FACULTY OPPORTUNITIES
2006 NASA Faculty Fellowship Program (NFFP)
http://www.asee.org/nffp/
The Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) is engaged in a wide variety of scientific research and engineering development programs. Research is related to earth and space science, while engineering developments relate to the equipment, systems and data reduction procedures used in space exploration. Faculty Fellows will pursue independent research or development with an assigned GSFC colleague on a selected topic of mutual interest.
The NASA Administrator's Fellowship Program (NAFP)
http://www.uncfsp.org/divstNAFP.aspx
The NASA Administrator's Fellowship Program (NAFP) is designed to enhance the professional development of NASA employees and the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) faculty of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Other Minority Universities. The program also seeks to increase the ability of these Minority Universities to respond to NASA's overall research and development mission.
GRADUATE STUDENT PROGRAMS
Graduate Student Researchers Program
http://fellowships.hq.nasa.gov/gsrp/research/
The NASA Graduate Student Researchers Program (GSRP) awards fellowships for graduate study leading to masters or doctoral degrees in the fields of science, mathematics, and engineering related to NASA research and development.
NASA Graduate Student Fellowships In Earth System Science
http://research.hq.nasa.gov/
NASA announces graduate student fellowships for persons pursuing Master of Science (M.Sc.) or Doctoral (Ph.D.) degrees in Earth System Science and related disciplines. The purpose of NASA's Earth System Science (ESS) Fellowship Program is to ensure continued training of interdisciplinary scientists to support the study of the Earth as a system. NASA places particular emphasis on the applicant's ability and interest in pursuing academic training and research using observations and measurements from NASA's Earth orbiting satellites, and in developing inter- or cross-disciplinary research about the Earth system that is not currently emphasized in the research and development portfolio of the Office of Earth Science.
UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS
The Scientific and Engineering Student Internship Program
http://hesperia.gsfc.nasa.gov/~interns/
The SESI program is a joint program with IACS in the Physics Department of the Catholic University of America (CUA), EUD/GSFC and Science and Exploration Directorate at GSFC. Student opportunities are open in all divisions of the Science and Exploration Directorate.
NASA Office of Higher Education
http://university.gsfc.nasa.gov/
The Office of Higher Education (OHE) (formerly the Office of University Programs) oversees activities and programs at Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) designed to maintain and broaden the Center's interaction with the higher education community. Special attention is directed to local colleges and universities along the northern and eastern seaboard and aerospace-oriented institutions nationwide having programs of mutual interest to Goddard.
Summer Institute
This program is designed to introduce undergraduate students majoring in all areas of the physical sciences to research opportunities in the atmospheric, biospheric, hydrospheric, and solar and space plasma sciences, both theoretical and experimental. No previous experience in these sciences is needed. The program is directed primarily at undergraduates who are in their Junior year at the time of application. However, all undergraduates, who are currently enrolled in a U.S. college or university, are eligible, provided they are also U.S. Citizens or holders of a Green Card indicating their intention of becoming a citizen.

NASA EDUCATION PORTALS
NASA Office of Education
http://education.nasa.gov/
The Education Enterprise plays the leading role in NASA's Mission to inspire the next generation of explorers. From the excitement of the countdown to awe-inspiring images of planets and galaxies, aeronautics and space exploration can ignite imaginations young and old. We realize, however, that the journey to space does not start at the launch pad... it starts at the classroom door.
Goddard Space Flight Center Education Programs
http://education.gsfc.nasa.gov/
The Goddard Education website contains programs and activities for students and educators from K-12 through the university level. The site provides links for students and educators to find the necessary application forms for both Goddard and NASA programs. Visitors are able to find education sponsored events in the Goddard service area (Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampsire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont). There are even listservs, broken down by states, for visitors to join to keep up to date on Goddard educational programs and activities.
