Computational Chemist

We’re seeking a Computational Chemist to join us in our mission to transform the discovery of therapeutics.

• A structure-based drug designer who may have postdoctoral or pharma/biotech experience
• An excellent communicator who’s been exposed to one or more other disciplines of relevance to drug discovery, such as synthetic organic chemistry, pharmacology, toxicology, formulation, biochemistry, physical chemistry, or analytical chemistry
• A computational chemist who’s familiar with coding/scripting languages and/or chemically-aware databases
• A team player who enjoys working in interdisciplinary environments

What you’ll do:

• Provide computational chemistry/modeling support to active drug discovery projects while assisting and developing appropriate modeling approaches to help drive drug discovery projects and methods development
• Troubleshoot computational problems
• Share knowledge with the greater Schrödinger Therapeutic Group (STG)
• Work closely with the internal software development teams to improve Schrödinger’s drug discovery technologies

What you should have:

• Ph.D. in computational chemistry, or related field
• Robust scientific training in molecular modeling, statistical mechanics, and/or quantum mechanics, as well as one or more of the following areas: computationally-driven lead optimization, molecular dynamics, free-energy methods, machine learning, virtual ligand screening, cheminformatics, ADMET modeling
