We have catered meals in the office, a company culture that is relaxed but engaged, and over a month of paid vacation time. Our Administrative and Human Resources departments also plan 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: $150,000 - $200,000. Actual compensation package is dependent on a number of factors, including, for example, experience, education, degrees held, market data, and business needs.

To us, "diversity" isn't just a buzzword, but an important element of our core principles and key business practices.
