Ranked sixth among medical schools in the nation, the School takes pride in being an inclusive community of outstanding learners, investigators, clinicians, and staff where interdisciplinary collaboration is embraced and great ideas accelerate translation of fundamental scientific discoveries to improve human health locally and around the globe. Composed of more than 2,600 faculty physicians and researchers, nearly 2,000 students, and more than 6,200 staff, the Duke University School of Medicine along with the Duke University School of Nursing, and Duke University Health System comprise Duke Health, a world-class academic medical center.
Work Performed
We expect you will focus your research on the study of neurophysiology (using neuroimaging), clinical symptoms, and behavior in humans with and without chronic pain to ultimately improve our understanding of the studied conditions. You may also be asked to assist with research studies of chronic pain and related conditions involving small animal imaging in the future, all with the goal of identifying and evaluating new therapeutic targets for chronic pain and comorbid conditions. You will also be expected to have interactions with clinical research subjects/participants.
Supervisory Duties: You will be expected to supervise undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows contributing to Martucci lab research projects and to provide training in behavioral, physiological, and neuroimaging methods, identification of literature resources, and preparation of presentations and manuscripts.
Knowledge, Skills and Abilities
Min Degree Requirements: Ph.D. or equivalent doctorate (e.g. Sc.D., M.D., D.V.M.).
Other Credential/Experiential Requirements: 10+ years of postdoctoral experience conducting scientific research. Multiple publications and notable significant contributions to scientific research.
