(03) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Measure and Regulatory Science Postdoctoral Fellow
Year 1 is focused on strengthening skills via didactic training and participation in ongoing studies involving COAs. During this time, fellows may attend graduate-level courses offered through Duke’s Department of Population Health Science’s graduate program or other ad hoc courses offered throughout Duke. The postdoc will participate in a mentored research project on health outcomes measurement.
Year 2 is focused on real-world, experiential patient-centered research with an industry setting. The postdoc will continue to conduct a mentored project that is both related to patient-centered research and can contribute to regulatory decision-making and policymaking, under the guidance of an industry mentor and a Duke faculty mentor. At the end of the two years, the postdoctoral fellow is ready to transition to work in patient-centered research in an industry setting.
Deadline : Open Until Filled
(04) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoctoral Associate, Blood Cancer Research
A postdoctoral position is immediately available in the laboratory of Dr. Ken H. Young in the Department of Pathology at Duke University Medical Center and Duke Cancer Institute. The Young lab focuses on clinical and pathologic translational studies in lymphoma and myeloma and has assessed a number of genetic and epigenetic biomarkers for prognostic and therapeutic importance in blood cancer (examples include PMID 34980601, 30745366, 33148342, 31640780, 31127191, 27760757, 23449635, 23982177, 22955915, etc). The current position is to investigate treatment resistance mechanisms and novel therapeutic approaches in lymphoma using molecular and proteomic technologies. We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral candidate with strong background in cellular, molecular and/or immunology for this position. Future promotion is available for those excellent and dedicative individuals.
Deadline : Open Until Filled
(05) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoctoral Associate – Experimental Brain Ischemia and Immunology
A NIH-funded postdoctoral position is immediately available in the laboratory of Dr. Wei Yang in the Department of Anesthesiology, Duke University Medical Center. The on-going projects use various murine models of cardiac arrest and ischemic stroke for basic and translational research. We apply a wide spectrum of approaches, including advanced molecular and immunologic methods, state-of-the-art functional in vivo imaging, sophisticated genetically modified mouse models, and modern rodent behavioral tests. The main project for this position is to investigate the complex immune response after cardiac arrest and resuscitation, and then to explore new immunomodulatory interventions to improve outcome after cardiac arrest, especially neuroprognostication.
Deadline : Open Until Filled

(06) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoctoral Associate – Skeletal Muscle Biology, Organoids, and Regeneration
Postdoctoral position is immediately available in the Bursac lab (http://bursaclab.pratt.duke.edu/) with the focus on use of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) for studies of skeletal muscle biology, disease, and regeneration. Specifically, 3-dimensional human skeletal muscle tissue organoids (“myobundles”) will be made using myogenic progenitors differentiated from hiPSCs or expanded from human muscle biopsies. These skeletal muscle organoids will be designed to contain robust contractile myofibers and a pool of functional muscle stem cells (satellite cells). Methods will be developed to incorporate primary or hiPSC-derived endothelial cell, immune system cells, and/or motoneurons in myobundles to develop more realistic, high-fidelity tissue-engineered models of skeletal muscle. The initial focus in using this improved model will be on understanding how non-muscle cells regulate satellite cell niche and muscle response to injury. Additionally, these 3D culture system will be used to model and study congenital muscle diseases including Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Pompe disease, and Dysferlinopathy (LGMD2B) and to test candidate pharmacological and genome editing (CRISPR/Cas9) therapeutics to improve muscle mass and function. Most promising therapeutic candidates will be eventually validated in mouse models of muscle disease and injury in vivo.

About Duke University, North Carolina, USA – Official Website
Duke University is a private research university in Durham, North Carolina. Founded by Methodists and Quakers in the present-day town of Trinity in 1838, the school moved to Durham in 1892. In 1924, tobacco and electric power industrialist James Buchanan Duke established The Duke Endowment and the institution changed its name to honor his deceased father, Washington Duke.
Duke’s campus spans over 8,600 acres (3,500 hectares) on three contiguous sub-campuses in Durham as well as a marine lab in Beaufort. The West Campus—designed largely by architect Julian Abele, an African American architect who graduated first in his class at University of Pennsylvania School of Design—incorporates Gothic architecture with the 210-foot (64-meter) Duke Chapel at the campus’ center and highest point of elevation, is adjacent to the Medical Center. East Campus, 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers) away, home to all first-years, contains Georgian-style architecture.The university administers two concurrent schools in Asia, Duke-NUS Medical School in Singapore (established in 2005) and Duke Kunshan University in Kunshan, China (established in 2013).
Duke University is ranked among the top universities in the United States. Undergraduate admissions are among the most selective in the country. It spends more money conducting research than most other universities in the country and its researchers are among the most frequently cited. As of 2019, 15 Nobel laureates and 3 Turing Award winners have been affiliated with the university. Duke alumni also include 50 Rhodes Scholars, 25 Churchill Scholars, 13 Schwarzman Scholars, and 8 Mitchell Scholars. The university has produced the third highest number of Churchill Scholars of any university (behind Princeton and Harvard) and the fifth-highest number of Rhodes, Marshall, Truman, Goldwater, and Udall Scholars of any American university between 1986 and 2015. Duke is the alma mater of one president of the United States (Richard Nixon) and 14 living billionaires.
