About the role

The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, MD, is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher in Robotics and Autonomous Systems to join the Tailored Autonomous Systems Group (QPJ). This role focuses on applying advanced research to real-world autonomous platforms for mission-driven environments. You will lead applied robotics research, design and integrate platforms, develop autonomy algorithms, and run experiments while collaborating across disciplines to publish results

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
