About the role

The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) invites graduates in chemistry or chemical engineering to join the Applied Chemistry and Physics team. You will contribute to multi-disciplinary projects that develop sensors, detectors, and chemistry-based analytical tools for DHS, DoD, and the IC. You will collaborate with physicists, engineers, analytical chemists and biologists to address national challenges, requiring hands-on lab work and strong communication in a team

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.
