For Professionals
NASA offers a wide variety of resources and opportunities for professionals.
about For Professionals
APPEL Knowledge Services
APPEL Knowledge Services unites the award-winning curriculum and career development tools from the Academy of Program/Project and Engineering Leadership with the critical knowledge sharing and knowledge management capabilities of the Chief Knowledge Officer to create a comprehensive, knowledge-dedicated resource for NASA.
about APPEL Knowledge Services
A close up of one of the robotic arms at the Robotic Operations Center (ROC) at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. In space, the robotic arm will access the satellite’s fuel valves and provide it with more fuel to extend its operational life.

NESC Academy
The NESC Academy presents live and on-demand content from researchers, engineers, and field experts in 19 technical disciplines relevant to the design, development, test, and operation of NASA programs and projects.
Knowledge Management Resources
The KM resources collection from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center is comprised of critical knowledge links and artifacts, institutional knowledge assets, lessons learned from missions and projects, that drive mission success. It also includes presentations and audio/video recordings of NASA technical leads, experts, scientists, and project leaders.
NASA Technical Reports Server
This repository provides access to NASA metadata records, full-text online documents, images, and videos. The types of information included are conference papers, journal articles, meeting papers, patents, research reports, images, movies, and technical videos – scientific and technical information (STI) created or funded by NASA.
Although the new fiber optic sensors on the Ikhana are not visible, the sealant used to cover them can be seen in this view from above the left wing.
NASA Safety Center – Professional Development
The NASA Safety Center (NSC) offers professional development opportunities to equip Safety and Mission Assurance (SMA) community members with the knowledge, skills and tools they need to do their jobs with confidence and credibility.
NASA Academy
The NASA Academy offers an intense, multi-disciplinary research program that emphasizes collaboration, teamwork, leadership, innovation and creativity.
NASA Lessons Learned
The NASA Lessons Learned system provides access to official, reviewed lessons learned from NASA programs and projects. These lessons have been made available to the public by the NASA Office of the Chief Engineer and the NASA Engineering Network.
A display of artifacts featuring nine items recovered from the STS-107 tragedy that occurred Feb. 1, 2003, is shown in the old Headquarters Building at Kennedy Space Center. The powerful exhibit can now be viewed in the lobby of the Florida spaceport’s new Central Campus Building until June 10.

Research Opportunities
NASA Postdoctoral Program
If you're an early-career or senior scientist, apply to the NASA Postdoctoral Program to help pursue NASA's mission and experience the world's most diverse technology and expertise.
NASA Hubble Fellowship Program
The NASA Hubble Fellowship Program (NHFP) supports promising postdoctoral scientists to pursue independent research which contributes to NASA Astrophysics, using theory, observation, experimentation, or instrument development.
Nancy Grace Roman Technology Fellowships
The goals of the fellowship program are to give early career researchers the opportunity to develop the skills necessary to lead astrophysics flight instrumentation development projects and become principal investigators of future astrophysics missions; to develop innovative technologies that have the potential to enable major scientific breakthroughs; and to foster new talent by putting early-career instrument builders on a trajectory towards long-term positions.
Jack Eddy Postdoctoral Fellowships
The two-year fellowship is designed to train the next generation of heliophysics researchers. It matches early-career PhDs with experienced scientists at U.S. host research institutions.
Brookhaven National Laboratory
Postdoctoral applicants at Brookhaven Lab are provided an opportunity to participate in impactful research projects with scientific experts in their field while utilizing the Lab’s state of the art facilities.
JPL/CalTech Postdoc Opportunities
An internship at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory is a chance to do the impossible. Here, you won’t be going on coffee runs — unless that coffee needs to be harvested from the moon and you’re on the team that’s building the probe to do it.
Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences
Find multiple opportunities for funding here alongside community announcements.
Proposals
Guidance for Unsolicited Proposals
NASA encourages the submission of unique and innovative proposals that will further the Agency's mission. While the vast majority of proposals are solicited, a small number of unsolicited proposals that cannot be submitted to those solicitations and yet are still relevant to NASA are reviewed and some are funded each year.
