As a member of our Force Fields team, you'll work with a team of scientists and engineers to build atomistic physics-based models with unprecedented levels of accuracy. This role offers the opportunity to combine your scientific research experience with sound engineering principles to continue to advance the state-of-the-art in computer-aided chemical discovery.

Who will love this job:

• A student of computational chemistry or biophysics who has developed models for small molecules and proteins
• A scientist who has applied molecular simulation and QM methods in model validation
• A force field developer who is passionate about building next-generation classical force fields enhanced by machine learning

What you'll do:

• Facilitate computer-aided chemical discovery by expanding the accuracy and coverage of our best-in-class atomistic physics-based models
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams and Schrödinger's agentic AI (Bunsen) to create next-generation tools for force field development
• Adopt best engineering practices to write clear, highly-organized, and maintainable code

What you should have:

• Master's or PhD in Computational Chemistry, Biophysics, or a related field
• Peer-reviewed publications in relevant disciplines
• Intermediate-level knowledge of the Python programming language

We'd prefer to hire someone who has:

• C++ programming background
• Experience with force field parameterization and methods development

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 regular catered meals in the office, 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.

Estimated base salary range: $120,000 - $145,000. 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.
