(01) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title:  Postdoctoral Associate

Duke University and North Carolina State University (NC State) invite applications for a full-time Postdoc Associate to conduct research on causal inference and analytic methods for data integration, with a focus on innovative statistical methods that boost the efficiency and robustness of clinical trials by incorporating real-world data and taking into account hidden biases.

A recent FDA U01 grant and other funding sources will fund the position. The position will be primarily based in the Department of Biostatistics & Bioinformatics, Duke University School of Medicine, under the supervision of Dr. Xiaofei Wang. The Postdoc Associate will also work closely with Dr. Shu Yang from the Department of Statistics at NC State and other clinical and methodology investigators from Duke University, Brown University, and Eli Lilly & Company.

Under the guidance of the PIs, co-investigators, and collaborators, the Postdoc Associate will be responsible for developing new statistical methods to empower clinical trials by harnessing external historical controls or another type of auxiliary information from existing clinical trials or real-world data.

The Postdoc Associate will use analytic and Monte Carlo methods to compare the new designs and techniques with existing ones in binary, continuous, and time-to-event outcomes. The Postdoc Associate will help develop R/SAS software for the proposed statistical methods and also work closely with all project investigators to extract relevant data from existing clinical trials, extensive observational studies, or population-based databases from multiple rare and common disease areas, including Alzheimer’s, brain tumors, and lung cancers.

The Postdoc Associate will attend the study team’s regular face-to-face or virtual meetings and the meetings with the FDA. We expect the Postdoc Associate to be the leading author or a co-author on statistical or medical publications and to disseminate research findings at professional conferences.

(08) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoctoral Associate

A postdoctoral Associate position is available in the Dou lab at Duke University in the Department of Integrative Immunobiology. The Dou Lab is a newly established laboratory studying the genetic pathways and mechanisms underlying autoimmunity from a lncRNA and epigenetic gene regulation perspective. We utilize biochemical assays, tissue culture, mouse transplantation & disease modeling experiments, FACS/flow cytometry, and single cell multiomics among other assays to resolve the role of lncRNAs, such as Xist, in establishing, maintaining, and disrupting immune tolerance.

The successful candidate will be expected to work both independently and as part of a team and positively contribute to a highly collaborative environment. Specific projects pertaining to this position include defining and mapping the critical gene and cellular networks by which the Xist lncRNA ribonucleoprotein particles (RNPs) promote autoimmune diseases (see Dou et al., Cell 2024, for more background). This work will consist of wet lab, mouse models, and translational research experiments involving patient samples. Postdocs in the Dou lab are also expected to assist with graduate student training and mentorship, maintain good communication with lab members, and present research findings at scientific meetings. Recent or soon-to-be Ph.D. awardees are encouraged to apply.

(10) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: POSTDOCTORAL ASSOCIATE

The David Lab at Duke University (www.ladlab.org) is recruiting a postdoctoral fellow to join an established research group developing and applying DNA sequencing and computational approaches to understand the interconnections between nutrition, health, food systems, and society. Our lab has pioneered genomics techniques that objectively track dietary intake across hundreds of plant and animal species, generating standardized data that works effectively across diverse languages and cultural contexts while eliminating traditional barriers of recall bias. These methods are being deployed in populations across North Carolina and globally, yielding insights into dietary patterns, disease risk, and socioeconomic determinants of health.

We are particularly interested in a candidate who could contribute to either or both of these research directions:

  1. Expanding a major initiative to analyze global dietary patterns through DNA sequencing of biospecimens, building on our lab’s established methodologies and international collaborations.
  2. Developing novel computational tools that use recent advances in artificial intelligence to automate and enhance bioinformatic analyses.

These projects are supported by awards from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, the National Institutes of Health, the Gerber Foundation, the Burroughs Wellcome Fund, and Schmidt Futures.

Our lab emphasizes individualized mentorship, with regular one-on-one guidance from Dr. David in manuscript and grant writing. Successful candidates will have opportunities to mentor graduate students and develop independent research directions that can seed future independent positions.

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.
