A creative collaborator who enjoys helping others solve problems
A self-motivated team player who takes ownership of projects and manages their own time well

What you’ll do:

Provide scientific support to current and prospective customers, which includes demonstration of optimal use of our life science software suites, facilitation of interactions between customers and product development teams, and general scientific guidance
Work with biologics customers to translate their scientific vision into robust modelling and data analysis workflows
Troubleshoot customers’ scientific workflows, administration, and adaptation of their modelling environment
Engage in cutting-edge methodological scientific research and advise our customers on best practices for computational modelling
Publish scientific papers and present at conferences

What you should have:

PhD in computational chemistry, bioinformatics, structural biology, or a related field
A deep knowledge of at least two biologics modalities such as antibodies, peptides, enzymes, oligonucleotides, and DNA/RNA
Demonstrable Python programming experience with bioinformatics and biologics data structures, databases, and administration of software or applications
Excellent English language skills (both verbal and written)
Willingness to travel
One of the following is a plus:

Expertise in the application of machine learning methods for biologics design
Hands-on experience with computational methods and/or experimental techniques in biologics discovery
Spanish and/or French language skills

What we offer:

A highly motivated international workplace with growth potential
Internal mentorship and training
Competitive salary and a flexible working environment
Annual company shutdown in addition to regular vacation days

As a Schrödinger employee, you'll also enjoy our employee volunteer program, our donation match program, access to the corporate benefits platform, a dedicated counseling service, and our company travel insurance. As an employee in Mannheim, you'll enjoy local transport reimbursement, a BahnCard 50, bike leasing, and the EGYM Wellpass (corporate fitness program). Our office is centrally-located, stocked with snacks and beverages, powered by green energy, and host to many team-building events.

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.
