D. E. Shaw Research

Job Title:  Computational Chemistry and Biology Opportunities at D. E. Shaw Research
Job Number:  4007746
Date Posted:  07/21/2010

Job Description

Extraordinarily gifted computational chemists, biologists, and other computational scientists are sought to join a New York–based interdisciplinary research group that is pursuing an ambitious, long-term strategy aimed in part at fundamentally transforming the process of drug discovery.

Candidates should have world-class credentials in computational chemistry, biology, or physics, or in a relevant area of computer science or applied mathematics, and must have unusually strong research skills. Relevant areas of experience might include protein structure prediction, the computation of protein-ligand binding affinities, the study of biologically important systems using molecular dynamics and/or Monte Carlo simulation, and the application of statistical mechanics to biomolecular systems—but specific knowledge of any of these areas is less critical than exceptional intellectual ability and a demonstrated track record of achievement. Current areas of interest within the group include molecular dynamics simulation of functionally significant globular and membrane proteins, the prediction of protein structures and binding free energies, structure- and ligand-based drug design, characterization of protein-protein, protein-nucleic acid and protein-lipid interactions, and the development of algorithms for biomolecular simulations.

We are eager to add both senior- and junior-level members to our world-class team, and we are prepared to offer above-market compensation to candidates of truly exceptional ability.
