D. E. Shaw Research is seeking pre-clinical translational scientists with experience in drug discovery to join our New York–based team. This is a high-visibility, high-impact role that affords the opportunity to help shape our drug discovery programs. Responsibilities include working collaboratively with our team of computational scientists and consultants on target evaluation, selection, and translational strategy; overseeing experimental work at our CRO partners from the design and implementation of functional cell assays to in vivo testing; and providing strategic advice regarding new drug discovery opportunities across therapeutic areas.

Relevant areas of experience include leadership of pre-clinical drug discovery programs, design of in vitro assays as well as in vivo disease models, and formulation of translational plans.  Specific knowledge of any of these areas is less critical, however, than strong research and communication skills, and a record of impact in drug discovery.

A successful hire will directly contribute to projects within our expanding portfolio of drug discovery programs, which we pursue both independently and in collaboration with leaders in academia and industry.

We are committed to fostering a stimulating, rewarding, and flexible work environment, and we offer above-market compensation.  In addition, we strive to support the personal and professional needs of our team members by offering generous benefits, opportunities for community engagement, and a variety of learning and development programs.
