NASA Goddard, GS-13 Civil Servant Position to work on JWST Project Scientist for Data, Calibration, Pipeline, and Archive

First part due Nov 22, 2023. Second part will be posted in Dec/Jan and will be on USAJOBS.  Second part (USAJobs) was posted early April and the deadline was April 8. Candidates have been notified if their application was referred to the hiring manager.

Some candidates scheduled for panel interviews 06/17

08/14 - Any updates? 

08/15 - Not really. They are awaiting permission from the center management to move forward. And not allowed to give any more information. I am sure when they want a response from you, you will have to immediately sign despite them taking almost an entire year since this job was first posted. *eye roll*

09/09 - Any updates?

09/25 - Probably fair to assume they've given out an offer, but didn't notify the unselected candidates? Can't imagine them not telling early-career applicants at this point, since many would have had to transition to a new position by now.

 

09/27: Nope. They still might not have given out any offers. Other civil servants at Goddard sometimes had no news for 3-4 months after the interview. Also, I image maximum 5 people were interviewed. The hiring manager usually writes a personalized email to tell you no with so few candidates. At the very least, you will get an automated email. Or, it could the case nobody got the job becusse of funding issues at Goddard with several missions downsizing or completely closing.
