Below are some of the postdoctoral positions available at Duke University. Please note that this list is NOT comprehensive. If you do not see a position in your area of interest, you should directly contact Duke faculty who are working in your research area(s) to inquire about possible positions.
Postdoctoral Associate, Biomedical Engineering
The Randles lab has an immediate opening for a Postdoctoral Associate to conduct applied research in the area of large-scale hemodynamic simulations. We are interested in questions that are of crucial importance for vascular disease reserach, and we use mathematical and computational techniques to approach them. In particular, we are coupling a kinetic representation of fluid mechanics with a deformable representation of suspended bodies and vessel walls to create patient-specific simulations of hemodynamics. Such methods are extremely computationally intense and requre use of large-scale supercomputers.
The focus of the candidate will be on the development and application of multiscale/multiphysics software to study the localization and progression of disease. The position is available for immediate hire with a 2-year term and opportunity for additional annual renewal contingent on performance and funding availability.

Research Scientist, Duke Viral Vector Core
The Duke University School of Medicine Viral Vector Core (VVC) seeks to hire a Research Scientist to direct activities of the Core. The VVC is based in the Department of Neurobiology at the Duke University Medical Center and serves the Duke community in the design and preparation of custom viral vectors (e.g. adeno-associated virus, lentivirus, rabies virus) for laboratory research purposes. Responsibilities of the position include working with investigators to provide guidance on development of viral constructs that will meet their research needs, development and optimization of new viral vector methodologies, design and construction of custom viral vectors, preparation of viral stocks for core facility customers, supervision of VVC facility personnel, and oversight for financial management of the VVC.
