D. E. Shaw Research is looking for individuals with an extraordinary record of academic and/or professional achievement to join its Strategic Growth team. Strategic Growth Associates are responsible for formulating and executing strategies to identify and recruit world-class scientists and engineers.  This is a dynamic, high-visibility position within the firm, which offers multiple opportunities to learn about cutting-edge science and technology, as well as to interact with the broader scientific and engineering communities.  

Candidates should be critical thinkers with exceptional communication and analytical skills.  We are particularly interested in applicants who have undergraduate- or graduate-level experience in chemistry, biology, computer science, or engineering, but having a background in one of these areas is not a requirement.  Strategic Growth Associates work closely with a number of the world’s leading scientists and engineers, and will have the opportunity not only to participate in an exciting entrepreneurial venture, but also to enable groundbreaking contributions within the fields of biology, chemistry, and medicine.  

D. E. Shaw Research 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 its core technologies is a proprietary special-purpose supercomputer that it designed and constructed to perform molecular dynamics simulations more than 100 times faster than the world's fastest general-purpose supercomputers.  D. E. Shaw Research uses these machines, together with machine learning methods and other computational techniques, in both internal and collaborative drug discovery programs.

We take great pride in the caliber of our team and 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.
