Computational Chemistry and Biology Opportunities at D. E. Shaw Research

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 systemsbut 
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.
