D. E. Shaw Research is seeking outstanding scientists with expertise in structure-based drug design or related areas to join our New York–based team.  This is a unique opportunity to develop and work with transformative technology in a dynamic, interdisciplinary environment.

Areas relevant to our efforts include computer-aided drug design, fragment-based approaches, molecular modeling, cheminformatics and bioinformatics, medicinal chemistry, and target analysis and selection.  Specific knowledge of any of these areas is less critical, however, than exceptional intellectual ability and a record of impact in drug discovery.

Successful candidates will directly contribute to research projects and further the group’s drug discovery aims.  We are committed to fostering a stimulating, rewarding, and flexible work environment, and we offer above-market compensation to candidates of truly exceptional ability.
