| The Laboratory for Physical Sciences (LPS) is seeking Cryogenic Engineers
and scientists to help advance the physics and engineering underlying information
science and technology. LPS is a premier research organization, managed and
operated by the U.S. Government, focused on developing new and innovative
technologies to improve national security. Across its three locations, the
University of Maryland-College Park, the University of Maryland-Baltimore
County, and Ft. George G. Meade, Maryland, LPS conducts and supports world-
class research from foundational device physics to novel architectures for high-
performance computing. To learn more about LPS, visit:
