Spring 2021 NASA Pathways Announcements

Posted on by

Here is some info to share among Rice colleagues and departments as well as other academic and technical contacts regarding the Spring 2021 call for NASA Pathways (formerly NASA Co-op) Program.  We are looking forward to having talented student applicants that are excited about aerospace and human spaceflight!  The internships will begin in August 2021.  Thanks for helping us to spread the word.

 

Pathways Intern announcements will be open 2/1/2021 through 2/5/2021. Direct links to the job announcements will be posted soon.

  1. Go to USAJobs to create an account:Applicants must click on ‘create a login.gov account’ in the red box and follow the prompts. Once they have created the account, click ‘continue’ to log back into USAJobs. Please note that it is very important for applicants to retain their login information, as passwords are not easily reset in the system.
  2. Create a profile:Before an applicant can apply, they will need to complete their profile. They will need to select ‘Complete Profile.’
  3. Build a Resume:After applicants complete a profile, they will need to build a resume. In past cycles, the system did not allow applicants to upload documents, but now that is a requirement. Please pay attention to any required documentation listed in the announcement.
  4. Set up a Job Alert:Create an alert through the ‘saved search’ function. Saved searches will automatically search for jobs based on search criteria and email applicants when there are new jobs available. Pathways announcements are listed as ‘Student Trainee’ roles.
  5. Once applicants have set up their alert, they will be notified when Pathways vacancies open. Once an opportunity is posted, they can follow the instructions in the ‘How to Apply’ section of the announcement.

Note: Please encourage applicants to read the postings in their entirety to understand the unique requirements for each announcement.
