SENIORITY
Lead
About the role
The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) is seeking PhD-level researchers to advance Missile Defense concepts and systems. You will apply math, engineering, and physics to models, simulations, and analyses of sensors, battle management, communications, and kinetic/non-kinetic defenses.
Join a collaborative team solving challenging national security problems, with opportunities to develop prototypes, analyze real systems, and transition ideas to fielded capabilities.
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.
