D. E. Shaw Research is seeking computational chemists and biologists, as well as other computational
scientists with a track record of achievement, to join our New Yorkbased team.  This is a unique
opportunity to develop and work with transformative technology in a dynamic, interdisciplinary
environment.  

Relevant areas of experience might include direct application of molecular dynamics or other
computational methods to drug discovery, investigation of conformational changes relevant to the
function of protein kinases, ion channels, or other biomolecules, structural modeling of
proteinprotein complexes involved in signal transduction or other cellular processes, or study of
fundamental biophysical problems, such as protein and RNA folding.  Specific knowledge of any of these
areas is less critical, however, than strong research skills, and a history of innovation and
accomplishment.  

Permanent senior scientist and postdoctoral fellowship opportunities are available. We are committed to
fostering a stimulating, rewarding, and flexible work environment, and we offer above-market
compensation.

D. E. Shaw Research is an independent research group that is pursuing an ambitious, long-term strategy
aimed at fundamentally transforming the process of drug discovery.  We have developed a special-purpose
supercomputer, ANTON, capable of executing molecular dynamics (MD) simulations orders of magnitude
faster than was previously possible.  Our current projects include investigations of proteins and other
biomedically relevant macromolecules as well as the development of computational chemistry methods to
enable more accurate and effective MD simulations.

D. E. Shaw Research is an equal opportunity employer, dedicated to the goal of building a diverse
workforce. We welcome inquiries from all exceptionally well-qualified applicants, regardless of race,
color, nationality, national or ethnic origin, religion or religious belief, caste, gender, gender
identity, pregnancy, caregiver status, age, military service eligibility, veteran status, sexual
orientation, marital or civil partner status, disability, or status in any other category protected in
this regard by law in any jurisdiction in which we operate.
