Why HLTCOE?
Research scientist positions at the HLTCOE bring together many of the
best aspects of academic and industrial research. Staff scientists are
charged with setting a research agenda in line with the Center's
goals, working with other members of the HLTCOE research team, and
publishing results. If they wish, researchers also have the
opportunity to apply for external funding, to work with and advise
students at CLSP, and to teach at Johns Hopkins.
Centrally located on the east coast, Baltimore is affectionately known
as Charm City because of its friendly people, thriving arts scene, and
multitude of restaurants and pubs. The center of the city is the Inner
Harbor, home to features such as the National Aquarium, historic
Federal Hill, and two professional sports teams. It is famous for its
crab cakes, and rich in the arts, from a variety of museums to
children's centers and a symphony orchestra. Just outside the city are
abundant natural settings great for hiking, biking, and other outdoor
adventures. Baltimore is part of the east coast corridor, just a short
train, bus, or car ride away from Washington D.C., Philadelphia, and
New York. Best of all, Baltimore is affordable: many Hopkins employees
own homes in adjacent neighborhoods, close enough to the University to
walk or bike to work, or to take public transportation.
