About the role
The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) seeks researchers to advance air combat systems modeling and simulation. You will build and apply models of aircraft, weapons, sensors, and communications, conducting mission-level analyses to inform system requirements, acquisition decisions, and force design in a defense context.
Candidates should have a PhD in a technical field, strong coding skills in Python, MATLAB, C++, and experience with simulations, plus the ability to work
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.
