We’re seeking a Force Field Scientist to join us in our mission to improve human health and quality of life by transforming the discovery of therapeutics and materials!

Schrödinger has pioneered a physics-based software platform that enables discovery of high-quality, novel molecules for drug development and materials applications more rapidly and at lower cost compared to traditional methods. The software platform is used by biopharmaceutical and industrial companies, academic institutions, and government laboratories around the world. Our multidisciplinary drug discovery team also leverages the software platform to advance collaborative programs and its own pipeline of novel therapeutics to address unmet medical needs.

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 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 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: $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.
