Greatness Starts with You!

Bell Helicopter is on the path to premier.  Nothing less than meeting the goal of becoming the premier manufacturer of vertical-lift aircraft will do.  Meeting this goal depends on inviting those ready for the challenge to our world class workforce.   Bell understands that Greatness starts with you!

We have embarked on an exciting new program at Bell Helicopter…designing and building the new and very prestigious VH-71 Presidential Helicopter. The VH-71 helicopter fleet will be unarguably the most visible in the world…providing first class helicopter transportation to the President of the United States.  Members of this program will directly contribute to the safe and secure transportation of the President of the United States, senior ranking government officials, and other heads of state in all parts of the world….day or night…rain or shine.  

The VH-71 Presidential Helicopter Program is looking for greatness in the engineering disciplines of Mechanical, Electrical, Flight Test, Instrumentation, Engineering Liaison, Structural Dynamics and Experimental Test Pilot.

The VH-71’s home for the next several years will be located at Patuxent River Naval Air Station in southern Maryland. This location is surrounded by countless recreational activities with the excitement and history of nearby Washington DC.  The local communities provide a variety of comfortable living choices.

Bell Helicopter is a recognized world wide as the leader in vertical lift technology. You will be joining engineering colleagues who share your engineering interests and passions. As a Bell Helicopter employee you will be eligible to participate in a comprehensive and competitive benefits package effective upon first day of employment that includes health/vision/dental insurance, 15 days of paid vacation, 12 paid holidays, company paid pension plan, matching 401(k) savings plan, tuition reimbursement, paid life insurance, long term and short term disability.

The Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the assistant professor level.  UAH is located in one of the leading centers for aviation and space research.  UAH is adjacent to the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command and NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, which provides our faculty and students with outstanding opportunities for collaboration with these organizations.  UAH also has several research centers that collaborate with the Department, including the Propulsion Research Center, Center for Space Plasma and Aeronomic Research, Center for Applied Optics, Nano and Micro Devices Center, Center for Modeling Simulation & Analysis, and the Center for Rotorcraft Systems Engineering and Simulation.  The Department offers Bachelors, Masters, and Doctoral programs in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.  The Department ranked nineteenth in the nation in the most recent NSF rankings (FY 2001) of research expenditures by mechanical engineering departments with expenditure of $4.6M.  The Department also has 500 undergraduate students and 130 graduate students. These enrollment numbers have been increasing for several years.

An outstanding individual in any relevant discipline will be considered. However, applicants with excellent credentials are sought in the following two specific areas. The successful applicant will fill either of these two requirements:

• 1) Candidates should have a basic knowledge of solid and structural mechanics, with expertise in advanced materials and analysis, which may include composite materials, fracture and fatigue mechanics, reliability, structural stability, analysis of aerospace structures, aero-elasticity, structural dynamics, or finite elements.  Special areas of interest include composite materials, rotorcraft structures and dynamics, aerospace structures, and classical mechanics.
• 2) Candidates should have a strong background in aerodynamics and compressible fluid mechanics and research expertise in experimental methods or computational fluid dynamics.

   The successful candidate is expected to have a strong commitment to teaching excellence at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and demonstrated research capabilities that will enable the candidate to develop externally funded, independent research programs including publications in scholarly journals.

   Applicants must have an earned doctorate in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field from an ABET accredited institution.  Previous teaching experience is desirable.  The candidate must be able to obtain a U.S. security clearance. The position is available for the spring semester 2008 and will remain open until filled.  Applicants should send a cover letter, which indicates the position sought, a current resume, as well as contact information for at least three references, and a separate one-page statement of research plans and teaching interests to:  Dr. Francis C. Wessling, P.E., Search Committee Chairman, Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, The University of Alabama in Huntsville, Huntsville, AL  35899.  Electronic submissions will not be considered.  The Department is committed to diversity and fostering a welcoming climate for all.  UAH is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer.
