• Present technical results in internal and external meetings
• Contribute to scientific publications and research projects

What you should have:

• PhD in Chemistry, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or a related field
• Deep background in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and its applications in materials science
• Familiarity with coarse‑grained simulation (DPD or Martini preferred) and enhanced sampling techniques
• Proven expertise in Python scripting, particularly in conjunction with scientific software tools
• Exposure to high-performance computing (HPC) environments and Linux operating systems
• Proven research track record of publications in the computational modeling field

Pay and perks:

Schrödinger understands it's people that make a company great. Because of this, we're prepared to offer a competitive salary, equity‑based compensation, and a wide range of benefits that include healthcare (with dental and vision), a 401k, pre‑tax commuter benefits, a flexible work schedule, and a parental leave program. We have a company culture that is relaxed, but engaged, and over a month of paid vacation time. Our Office Management team also plans a myriad of fun company‑wide events. New York is home to our largest office, but we have teams all over the world. Schrödinger is honored to have been included in Crain's New York Best Places to Work, BuiltIn's NYC Best Place to Work, and Newsweek's list of America's 100 Most Loved Workplaces.

Estimated base salary range (US): $105,000 to $235,000

Estimated base salary range (EU): €70,000 to €150,000

Actual compensation package is dependent on a number of factors, including, for example, experience, education, degrees held, market data, and business needs. If you have any questions regarding the compensation for this role, do not hesitate to reach out to a member of our Strategic Growth team.
