The School of Aerospace Medicine hosts training of Air Force medical personnel, human performance research and epidemiological analysis and research.
The positions to be filled by Sept. 15 include doctors, nurses, biomedical and bioenvironmental engineers, health physicists, public health officers and clerical workers.
Annual salaries for the science positions can range from $36,868 to $129,517, and between $27,431 and $78,355 for support positions, Air Force officials said.
People interested in the jobs can apply for them through www.usajobs.gov, the government’s job posting website.
The approximately 200 positions are a portion of hundreds of civilian and military jobs being relocated to Wright-Patterson this year in aerospace medicine and sensors research and other programs, under decisions made in the nation’s 2005 base realignment and closure round to shut down some bases and build others into centers of excellence for specialty functions. The relocation must be completed by Sept. 15.
Last month, the Air Force issued a national directive to slow the rate of civilian hiring so that only one person would be hired for every two vacancies.
The restriction, in effect for at least the next year and likely beyond as a response to defense budget pressures, applies broadly to the bulk of civilian positions in operations and maintenance categories including program managers, financial analysts and contracting specialists, Wright-Patterson officials said.
