Charitably they're moving fast, but without already having people in mind for the roles or having created the hiring pipeline, how do you reach a sufficiently large audience. Is there an explanation I'm missing? Was this announced a while ago?
Makes it feel like they already know who they want for the roles/preferential selection. On a longer or recurring timescale, seems like a cool way to reach out to potential hires.

I mean, I can make sense of it, but it's written like it's describing a picture or something. As a standalone sentence, it is weird.
Why does the application window last four days?

They specify early to mid career. Imo they're anticipating a ton of applications and bounding it makes reviewing them tractable.

I understand the spirit of this comment (and I get it), but we want the opposite to be true. Let's find ways to support good people who step up. Edits (in case my meaning above is not clear): 1. When I write "but we want the opposite to be true" I mean this: if only Trump-aligned or Trump-tolerant people sign up for these roles, I do not think this is desirable for NASA. 2. When I write "I understand the spirit of th…
Given what we're facing, I am actually skeptical of people who step up to work for the government at this moment in time. There's a lot of nationalist language on this site. Even if your motivations are for science, do we really want to give any assistance to the goals of this administration?
As long as Trump is still President every sane human being should stay away from any federal agency.

These job postings opened today on April 17 and close in four days (on April 21). This is highly compressed and highly unusual. Being no fan of the current administration and its hangers-on, my brain quickly jumps to less flattering reasons for these short time windows. A four day application window favors people they want to select. They may well have told certain people in advance to be ready. I don't have direct "…

It kinda sounds like a post-doc, in that it provides an on-ramp to working in the industry/institution. But without having to waste your time getting a PhD.
> But without having to waste your time getting a PhD Ah yes, that 'waste of times' having to learn things in aeronautics and physics..
