What is the difference between Associate Nasa Materials Science vs Materials Engineer?

AspectAssociate Nasa Materials ScienceMaterials Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's degree in materials science, engineering, or related field; some roles may require security clearanceBachelor's or higher in materials science, metallurgical engineering, or related field; professional certification optional
Work EnvironmentResearch labs, aerospace facilities, government agencies like NASAManufacturing plants, research labs, aerospace companies, government agencies
Employer & Industry UsagePrimarily NASA and aerospace research institutionsVarious industries including aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, and research

While both roles involve materials science, an Associate Nasa Materials Science typically focuses on supporting NASA's aerospace projects with research and testing, often at entry to mid-level. A Materials Engineer has broader responsibilities, including designing, developing, and testing materials across multiple industries. The roles differ mainly in scope, responsibilities, and work environment, with the Associate Nasa Materials Science role being more specialized within aerospace research.

Job description

USRA is seeking a Scientist to support research in low-gravity exploration technology and materials science. Work will focus on combustion, fluid mechanics, and transport processes in microgravity and partial-gravity environments, as well as polymer aerogels. Research will follow NASA-approved procedures and results are expected to be published in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings.

Essential Duties/Responsibilities:

  • Collaborate with project scientists and provide technical expertise.
  • Lead multiple research projects and mentor graduate and undergraduate interns.
  • Contribute to planning future scientific initiatives.
  • Publish research findings and present at conferences.
  • Participate in customer reviews and independent project milestone reviews.

Citizenship Requirement: U.S. Citizens or Legal Permanent Residents

Required Qualifications:

  • Education: PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, Chemistry, Materials Science, Physics, or related field.
  • Experience: Strong background in microscopy, spectroscopy, experimental techniques, and data analysis. Hands-on experience in electron microscopy, materials characterization, and organic/polymer synthesis preferred. Familiarity with space-based research protocols is a plus.
  • Candidate must be open to training in analytical, numerical, simulation, and data analysis methods.

The candidate is also expected to:

  • Be a team player.
  • Be a self-starter.
  • Have a willingness to learn and collaborate with other scientists.
  • Be curious and open to working on interdisciplinary subjects.
  • Have strong verbal and written communication skills.
  • Have experience with documenting studies through presentations or written peer-reviewed publications.

Working Conditions:

This job operates in a professional office and laboratory environment. This role routinely uses standard office equipment such as computers, phones, photocopiers, etc. Reasonable accommodation may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform their essential duties and responsibilities.

Telecommuting: The work location for this effort will be onsite at NASA GRC, at the GEARS facility, and, potentially, via telecommuting. Work location for any given period will be based on meeting order requirements effectively.

Travel: Negligible.
