NASA Exploration Systems Mission Directorate (ESMD) Ohio Space Grant Consortium (OSGC) Student Internship Program
The NASA Exploration Systems Mission Directorate (ESMD) Ohio Space Grant Consortium (OSGC) Student Internship Program provides students with summer internship opportunities in industry or at a NASA Center to work on hands-on ESMD-related research projects needed to implement the Vision for Space Exploration along with NASA scientists and engineers.

Eligibility

• Must be a United States citizen to participate. Proof of citizenship will be required if selected.
• Age 18 or older
• Community college, undergraduate and graduate students are eligible to apply
• Minimum of 30 credit hours/45 quarter hours completed
• Minimum GPA of 3.0/4.0
• Enrolled full-time in an accredited U.S. university, college, or community college.

Applying for Internships at Industry
OSGC will have possibly two internship opportunities with industry: one in the Cleveland, Ohio, area, and the other in Dayton, Ohio. If interested, contact the OSGC Main Office at OSGC@oai.org.

The Ohio Aerospace Internship Program
The Ohio Aerospace Internship Program is a new program created in response to Ohio’s Third Frontier Internship Program Opportunity. The Program’s focus is on Ohio. Participating students, therefore, are Ohio residents who attend Ohio academic institutions and meet the required qualifications of the Third Frontier Internship Program. These individuals are matched with Ohio-located internship opportunities. The Program’s focus is also exclusively on aerospace; participating companies providing internship opportunities pursue aerospace-related enterprises in the State of Ohio.

NASA Academy
The NASA Academy is a unique summer experience at the university level for developing future leaders of the U. S. Space Program. The program is an intensive, resident, 10-week summer experience (June through August) with laboratory research work, a group project, lectures, meetings with experts and administrators, visits to NASA Centers and space-related industries, technical writing, and presentations. Students discover how NASA and its Centers operate, gain experience in world-class laboratories, participate in a team environment and build professional bonds. Upon graduation, Academy participants are inducted into the NASA Academy Alumni Association (NAAA) whose goal is to promote NASA, the NASA Academy, research, and space education. The NASA Academy is co-sponsored by the participating NASA Centers and the National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program.

NASA Opportunities for Faculty!

NASA Glenn Research Center Faculty Fellowship Program (NGFFP)

Program Description
Ten-week fellowships for science and engineering faculty at accredited United States universities and colleges are available at NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC), Cleveland, Ohio, during the summer months.

The official tenure period for 2009 is Monday, June 1 through Friday, August 7. The proposed research project must be of mutual interest to the prospective fellow and the GRC colleague, and aligned with GRC research and technology objectives to advance NASA mission.

The Aerospace Research and Fellowship Program is intended to provide university and college faculty with research experience to:

1. Enhance their professional knowledge;
2. Stimulate an exchange of ideas between them and employees of NASA GRC;
3. Enrich and refresh the research and teaching at their institutions through infusion of NASA mission-related research and technology content into classroom teaching; and
4. Contribute to the research, technology and engineering objectives of GRC. Fellows work on projects to complement in-house efforts by their GRC professional colleagues.

Research and technology, and engineering developments encompass relevant specialty areas and management of major projects. Among the areas of interest are the following:

• Advanced Microwave Communications
• Acoustics
• Aeronautical and Space Systems Analysis
• Computer Systems and Networks
• Materials and Structures, including Mechanical Components and Lubrication
• Icing and Cryogenic Systems
• Instrumentation, Controls and Electronics
• Fluids, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Turbomachinery
• Electric (Ion) Propulsion for Spacecraft
• Microgravity Fluid Physics, Combustion Phenomena and Bioengineering
• Nanotechnology
• Photovoltaics, Electrochemistry-Physics, and Thermal Energy Conversion
• Propulsion System Aerodynamics
• Space Power Generation, Storage, Distribution and Management
• Systems Engineering
• Advanced Energy (Renewable Wind, Solar and Coal Energy, Alternative Energy)

Eligibility
Fellowships are intended primarily for full-time science and engineering faculty of United States citizenship, who are tenured or in tenure-track positions at 4-year, accredited United States colleges and universities, or full-time faculty at 2-year United States' academic institutions. Faculty members who do not meet the stated criteria may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Faculty members from underrepresented groups and at minority institutions are encouraged to apply.

To be eligible for consideration, an applicant must not have participated in the NGFFP in the past two consecutive Summers (of 2008 and 2007).

Deadline to Apply
Applications open on Tuesday December 23, 2008 and close at 5:00 PM on Friday, February 6, 2009.
