Available Positions in the Duncan Lab

Postdoctoral research associates

We do not currently have funded positions available for postdoctoral fellows. However, we are happy to receive inquiries from excellent postdoctoral candidates in case of future openings. 

Graduate students

​We are happy to host graduate students for rotations in our research group (see research for details on projects). If interested in working with us, you should apply to the UMD BIOE graduate program, Biophysics graduate program, or BISI MOCB graduate program.

Undergraduate students

Our lab will periodically have openings for undergraduate researchers in our lab. When positions are available, we will be participating in the Bioengineering department's call for undergraduate research applications. When participating, we will consider all applications received prior to the priority review deadline for Spring (Dec. 1), Summer (Apr. 1) and (Aug 1) Fall research opportunities. Please be on the lookout for an email from the department ~4-6 weeks prior to these deadlines with information on how to apply. 

The diversity of our research team strengthens our capacity for innovation and applicants at all levels from underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply.
