Extraordinarily gifted structural biologists are sought to join a rapidly growing New York–based 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 structural or computational biology, and must have unusually strong research skills.  Relevant areas of experience might include structural bioinformatics, computational studies of biomolecular interactions, X-ray crystallography, and NMR spectroscopy—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 the application of simulation methods to both fundamental and practical problems in molecular biophysics, such as dynamics and allostery.  Systems of interest range from ultrafast-folding proteins to functionally significant biomolecules such as protein kinases and membrane transporters.

This research effort is being financed by the D. E. Shaw group, a global investment and technology development firm with more than $30 billion in aggregate investment capital.  The project was initiated by the firm's founder, Dr. David E. Shaw, and operates under his direct scientific leadership. 

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

Please send your curriculum vitae (including list of publications, thesis topic, and advisor, if applicable) to monster-bio@career.deshawresearch.com.

Members of the D. E. Shaw group do not discriminate in employment matters on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, pregnancy, national origin, age, military service eligibility, veteran status, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, or any other protected class.
