Hi Friends,

If you have just graduated from Swarthmore, you do not have 
world-class credentials.  BUT ...

if a place is advertising for folks with world-class 
credentials, they usually have plenty of folks with 
ordinary credentials working there also.  So, if you 
know some chemistry or biology, you might check this 
out.

D. E. Shaw Research and Development
Computational Chemistry and Biology Opportunities

Extraordinarily gifted computational chemists,
biologists, and other computational scientists are
sought to join a rapidly growing New York-based
research group that is pursuing an ambitious, long-term
strategy aimed at fundamentally transforming the
process of drug discovery.

Candidates should have world-class credentials in
computational chemistry, biology, or physics, or in a
relevant area of computer science or applied
mathematics, and must have unusually strong research
skills.  Relevant areas of experience might include
protein structure prediction, the computation of
protein-ligand binding affinities, the study of
biologically important systems using molecular dynamics
and/or Monte Carlo simulation, and the application of
statistical mechanics to biomolecular systems -- 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 molecular
dynamics simulation of functionally significant
globular and membrane proteins, the prediction of
protein structures and binding free energies,
structure- and ligand-based drug design,
characterization of protein-protein, protein-nucleic
acid and protein-lipid interactions, and the
development of algorithms for biomolecular simulations.

This research effort is being financed by the D. E.
Shaw group, an investment and technology development
firm with approximately $15 billion in aggregate
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:

 cra-cc@desrad.deshaw.com.

D. E. Shaw Research and Development, L.L.C. does not
discriminate in employment matters on the basis of
race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age,
military service eligibility, veteran status, sexual
orientation, marital status, disability, or any other
