Catalyzing Gender Equity & Inclusivity 2025

Schrödinger is excited to host our third Catalyzing Gender Equity & Inclusivity event in support of women and non-binary computational scientists on June 10 & 11, 2025. Our two-day symposium will include an overview of research and development projects at Schrödinger, an interactive molecular modeling workshop led by our Education team, an employee panel with some of our female scientists and software developers, and resume workshop sessions.

This event is open to PhD students and postdocs of all genders conducting computational research in STEM fields. We are particularly eager to hear from scientists with a passion for coding and an interest in learning more about the careers of scientific software developers.
