D. E. Shaw Research offers paid summer internships for undergraduate and graduate students from a range of scientific and technical disciplines. Interns spend 12 to 15 weeks working closely with members of our chemistry and drug discovery, computer science, or hardware teams.
Each year, D. E. Shaw Research organizes highly selective paid fellowship programs for undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers working in scientific and technical fields relevant to our group’s research. Each of these three fellowship programs is an intensive, two‑day symposium that includes scientific and technical presentations and workshops, career development discussions, and networking with peers and members of our team.
We believe that our strength lies not only in the talent of our individual team members, but in our collective support for a diverse and inclusive workplace and our commitment to fostering a collaborative, collegial, and flexible environment in which all of us can do our best work. We embrace diversity along all dimensions, and respect and value the unique qualities, perspectives, and identities of every person in our group.
