Computational Drug Discovery Opportunities at D. E. Shaw Research

Employer
D. E. Shaw Research
Location
New York City, New York (US)
Salary
Above Market
Closing date
Apr 30, 2021

D. E. Shaw Research is seeking scientists with experience in computational drug discovery 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 of expertise relevant to our molecular dynamics–based drug discovery efforts include molecular modeling, fragment–based drug design, cheminformatics, and medicinal chemistry.  An ability to leverage experimental data to inform computational approaches would be a plus, as would knowledge of structural biology.  Specific knowledge of any of these areas is less critical, however, than strong research skills, and a record of impact in drug discovery.

A successful hire will directly contribute to projects within our expanding portfolio of drug discovery programs, which we pursue both independently and in collaboration with leaders in academia and industry.

We are committed to fostering a stimulating, rewarding, and flexible work environment, and we offer above-market compensation.
