DescriptionCheminformatics software developers are sought to join an ambitious, well-funded interdisciplinary research group based in New York City. Successful candidates will work closely with our world-class team of chemists, biologists, and computer scientists on developing software that is critical to our drug discovery efforts.
Ideal candidates will have extensive experience with cheminformatics software packages; strong Python and C/C++ programming skills; experience with development for cluster architectures; and familiarity with Linux/UNIX operating systems. Relevant areas of expertise include virtual screening and docking, computer-aided small molecule design, molecular modeling, and engineering of large-scale chemical databases, but specific knowledge of any of these areas is less critical than intellectual curiosity, versatility, and a track record of achievement.
D. E. Shaw Research is pursuing a long-term strategy aimed at fundamentally transforming the process of drug discovery. Our group has developed multiple generations of a special-purpose supercomputer, ANTON®, capable of simulating biomolecular phenomena orders of magnitude faster than was previously possible, and we are currently working on a number of drug discovery programs focusing on drug targets that span a range of therapeutic areas. Successful hires will be responsible for developing our tools and methodologies for virtual screening and hit-finding drug discovery, leveraging our custom supercomputers.
We take great pride in the caliber of our team, and we offer above-market compensation. This full-time role also offers full benefits, generous relocation assistance, and a collegial working environment.

Company DescriptionD. E. Shaw Research is an independent research laboratory that conducts scientific research and technological development in the field of computational biochemistry. Our group focuses on the design of novel algorithms and machine architectures for high-speed MD simulations of proteins and other biological macromolecules, with the aim of significantly advancing the process of drug discovery. We have designed and developed multiple generations of ANTON®, a massively parallel supercomputer that executes MD simulations orders of magnitude faster than was previously possible. Anton has now simulated the behavior of a number of proteins for several milliseconds, revealing biologically and pharmaceutically relevant aspects of protein dynamics.
