Machine learning researchers and engineers with impressive records of academic and 
professional achievements sought to join our interdisciplinary team in New York City.  
We will consider candidates at all levels of experience.

This is a unique opportunity to collaborate with our chemists, biologists, and computer 
scientists to expand the groups efforts applying machine learning to drug discovery, 
biomolecular simulation, and biophysics.  Ideal candidates will have demonstrated 
expertise in developing deep learning techniques, as well as strong Python programming 
skills.  Relevant areas of experience might include molecular dynamics, structural biology, 
medicinal chemistry, cheminformatics, and/or quantum chemistry, but specific knowledge of 
any of these areas is less critical than intellectual curiosity, versatility, and a track 
record of achievement and innovation in the field of machine learning.

D. E. Shaw Research (DESRES) develops and uses advanced computational technologies to 
understand the behavior of biologically and pharmaceutically significant molecules at an 
atomic level of detail, and to design precisely targeted, highly selective drugs for the 
treatment of various diseases.  Among our core technologies is a proprietary special-purpose 
supercomputer called ANTON which we designed and constructed to perform molecular dynamics 
simulations more than 100 times faster than the world's fastest general-purpose supercomputers.  
DESRES develops and refines advanced biomolecular modeling methods, software, and machine learning 
techniques on ANTON, as well as on general-purpose supercomputers, in order to pursue both 
internal and collaborative drug discovery programs.  Machine learning techniques are a 
rapidly-growing aspect of our research efforts.  For example, we have developed and published 
neural networks that improve the accuracy of quantum chemistry models, and have trained deep 
learning models to generate optimized molecules for drug discovery.

We take great pride in the caliber of our team, and we offer above-market compensation.  
We also provide generous relocation and immigration assistance to new hires.  In addition, we 
strive to support the personal and professional needs of our team members by offering generous 
benefits, opportunities for community engagement, and a variety of learning and development programs.
