D. E. Shaw Research and Development

Research on Algorithms and Architectures for
Computational Biochemistry

Extraordinarily gifted computer scientists, systems
architects, electrical engineers and systems software
professionals are sought to join a rapidly growing New
York?based research group pursuing an ambitious,
long-term project aimed at achieving major scientific
advances in the field of biochemistry and fundamentally
transforming the process of drug discovery.  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,
and operates under the direct scientific leadership of
its founder, Dr. David E. Shaw.

Among the group?s current research activities is a
project aimed at developing a massively parallel
special-purpose supercomputer and innovative
mathematical and computational techniques to direct
unprecedented computational power toward the solution
of key scientific and technical problems in the fields
of molecular simulation and molecular design.
Successful candidates will be working closely with a
number of the world?s leading computational chemists
and biologists, and will have the opportunity not only
to participate in an exciting entrepreneurial venture
with considerable economic potential, but to make
fundamental contributions within the fields of biology,
chemistry and medicine.

Serious candidates will have an exceptionally
distinguished history of academic and/or industrial
accomplishment in computer science, electrical
engineering, applied mathematics, or a related area.
Particularly relevant areas of expertise might include
parallel computation, high-speed interconnection
networks, scientific computing, numerical analysis,
optimization, the analysis of algorithms, operating
systems, digital systems simulation, reconfigurable
computing, and ASIC design, but specific knowledge of
any of these areas is less critical than exceptional
intellectual ability and a demonstrated track record of
achievement.  We are prepared to reward exceptionally
well-qualified individuals with above-market compensation.

Please send your curriculum vitae (including list of
publications, thesis topic, and advisor, if applicable)
to:

cra-cs@desrad.deshaw.com

The D. E. Shaw group members do 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
protected class.
