Neurobiology is committed to providing postdoctoral fellows with outstanding mentors in a supportive and dynamic neuroscience research environment. Our 18 primary faculty members host approximately 25 postdoctoral fellows.
Postdoc Community
We encourage postdocs to collaborate and socialize with other postdocs and research associate seniors both within and outside Neurobiology. We host weekly seminars, social events, and other learning opportunities to strengthen the Neurobiology research community. In addition, we encourage postdocs to participate in events outside Neurobiology, including with the Duke Office of Postdoctoral Services, which is a central resource for postdocs that serves as liaison between postdocs, faculty, administrators, and staff; the Duke University Postdoctoral Association (DUPA), which provides social activities and information for postdocs; and the Postdoctoral Organization for Neuroscientists (PONs), which is devoted to addressing issues that affect postdocs in the Duke neuroscience community. PONs’s initiatives are aimed at strengthening connections among postdocs, helping new postdocs integrate into the community, and providing support for late-stage postdocs as they transition into academic and non-academic positions.
