She serves on the Executive Committee of the Society of Physics and Astronomy Students (SPS) National Council as an At-Large member. She is also member of the Committee on the Status of Women in Astronomy of the American Astronomical Society (AAS).

Before joining NASA, Dr. Jang-Condell was a professor at the University of Wyoming in the Department of Physics & Astronomy from 2011-2021, where she served as faculty advisor to the Wyoming Chapter of the Society of Physics Students, and was elected to the SPS National Council for 2017-2020. She is committed to supporting undergraduate students in physics & astronomy by making it a welcoming and inclusive community. As a faculty member, Dr. Jang-Condell saw first-hand the challenges students face in pursuing a physics or astronomy major, particularly those from historically under-represented or under-resourced groups. By working with SPS, she strives to help establish support structures for these students through SPS initiatives and activities.
