Job description

Occupational Summary The Achanta Lab is seeking a highly motivated Veterinary Research Scientist/Postdoctoral Research Scientist to join our dynamic team. The title will be designated based on the Duke University School of Medicine guidelines and commensurate with the experience of the candidate. This position offers a unique opportunity to lead and collaborate on a broad portfolio of translational research projects focused on acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), acute heart failure, myocardial infarction, and pain models. Our work is supported by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), federal sub‑contract projects, and industry partners. Work Performed While our group employs in vitro, rodent, and non‑rodent models, this role will focus primarily on non‑rodent translational models. The successful candidate will gain hands‑on experience with a variety of cutting‑edge techniques, with extensive training provided to support skill development where needed. Key Responsibilities Design, conduct, and analyze translational studies in non‑rodent models. Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to achieve study objectives. Contribute to data interpretation, scientific writing, and dissemination of results. Participate in lab operations, including early‑morning, late‑evening, and occasional weekend work to ensure optimal study conduct and animal welfare. Commute as needed to satellite research facilities (~13 minutes from main lab). Training And Career Development Career planning and scientific development. Writing, grantsmanship, and conference presentation training. Guidance for American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine (ACLAM) or American College of Animal Welfare (ACAW) board certification, including structured support for residency pathways or board‑certification under alternate experience route. Guidance to become board‑certified by American Board of Toxicology. Outreach, communication, and leadership skill development. Position Details Renewable, multi‑year appointment contingent upon performance and funding. Competitive salary and benefits commensurate with experience and institutional guidelines. Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities Education/Experience Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M.) or equivalent degrees (BVSc, VMD, BVM) is required. Candidates with D.V.M. and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) will be preferred. Licensure to practice veterinary medicine in the United States is preferred but not required. Other Credential/Experiential Requirements: While we are open to fresh graduates, preference will be given to candidates with at least one year of veterinary clinical practice or working experience with laboratory animals in a research setting. 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. Duke is an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to providing employment opportunity without regard to an individual's age, color, disability, gender, gender expression, gender identity, genetic information, national origin, race, religion, sex (including pregnancy and pregnancy related conditions), sexual orientation or military status. Essential Physical Job Functions Certain jobs at Duke University and Duke University Health System may include essential job functions that require specific physical and/or mental abilities. Additional information and provision for requests for reasonable accommodation will be provided by each hiring department. #J-18808-Ljbffr
