The Duke Center for Applied Genomics and Precision Medicine is pleased to announce a two-year post-doctoral training program in genomic medicine. This unique program will provide training in a fast-growing field marked by the advent of new technologies, increased use of clinical genomic medicine, and large-scale federally- and privately-funded research efforts. The Post-Doctoral Training Program in Genomic Medicine is supported by a Ruth L. Kirschstein Institutional National Research Service Award (T32).
The objectives of this training program are to provide post-doctoral trainees:
We have a rolling admissions process. In general, we will review applications at the end of each calendar year and in early spring; we recommend applicants submit by December 1 or March 1 of each year. Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact us first if interested in applying.
