Interested in joining the Silver Lab?

We strongly believe that science is strengthened by unique and broad perspectives. Our lab is committed to maintaining and promoting a supportive environment and welcome lab members who bring unique scientific and personal experiences and backgrounds.

Postdoctoral Fellows

Our lab is currently accepting applications from highly motivated, hard-working, collaborative postdoctoral applicants, who are passionate about brain development. Previous experience in relevant fields of cortical development, developmental neurobiology, stem cells, or RNA biology is a huge plus, but not a requirement. Must have a strong scientific record of productivity and creativity. We are especially excited to recruit lab members interested studying mechanisms of human-specific brain development. Please contact Debra Silver (debra.silver@duke.edu) with questions and apply here. Please see here to learn more about the position.
