About The Position

We are seeking a Data Technician who will serve as the SOHO Science Operations Coordinator, supporting the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) Experimenter's Operation Facility (EOF) on-site at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) in Greenbelt, MD. The position is 30 hours per week, fully on-site, and is ideally suited for a college undergraduate who is interested in, and able to take on the responsibilities required to obtain, hands-on experience supporting an operating NASA space mission. We are seeking a candidate who is a fast learner, a problem-solver, and a reliable team-player who can also be trusted to work independently. Since this position involves working in an operational environment (24 x 7 x 365), it requires occasional after hours (weekends/evenings) on call duty to support operations. Therefore, the candidate is required to reside within the Washington, DC/Baltimore metro area, with ready access to car transport, within a commuting distance of 30 minutes or less.
