Publish scientific papers and present at conferences

What you should have:

PhD in computational chemistry, bioinformatics, or a related field
Postdoctoral research and/or relevant experience in the commercial sector
A solid understanding of the commercial drug discovery process and of medicinal chemistry
Excellent English language skills (both verbal and written); French and/or Spanish language skills would be considered a bonus

As an equal opportunity employer, Schrödinger hires outstanding individuals into every position in the company. People who work with us have a high degree of engagement, a commitment to working effectively in teams, and a passion for the company's mission. We place the highest value on creating a safe environment where our employees can grow and contribute, and refuse to discriminate on the basis of race, color, religious belief, sex, age, disability, national origin, alienage or citizenship status, marital status, partnership status, caregiver status, sexual and reproductive health decisions, gender identity or expression, or sexual orientation. To us, "diversity" isn't just a buzzword, but an important element of our core principles and key business practices. We believe that diverse companies innovate better and think more creatively than homogenous ones because they take into account a wide range of viewpoints. For us, greater diversity doesn't mean better headlines or public images - it means increased adaptability and profitability.
