Pentagon Plans to Move Hundreds of Jobs to Dayton, Ohio

Research jobs are coming to Dayton, Ohio's Wright-Patterson Air Force base.

Research jobs are coming to Dayton, Ohio's Wright-Patterson Air Force base.

Scientists and engineers are expected to see a hiring increase at the Wright-Patterson Air Force base, where the Pentagon is transferring many technology jobs in Dayton, OH, from military complexes nationwide, according to the Dayton Daily News.

Wright-Patterson will absorb research programs including aerospace medicine, sensors and human performance from other bases, under decisions made during the nation’s 2005 base realignment and closure assessment. The additions are intended to enhance Wright-Patterson’s research capabilities and make it a military center of excellence for those programs.

The much-anticipated relocation will bring hundreds of scientists, engineers and contract support personnel to the Dayton area, including personnel transferred from other locations and positions to be filled locally if current jobholders choose not to relocate.
