The Office of Postdoctoral Services is a great resource for training and social events.  On their calendar you will find workshops on teaching ideas, grant writing, work/life balance, appointment, promotions and tenure. 

 

The Duke University Association for Postdoctorals (DUPA) conducts many professional events.    They offer training on preparing for a faculty career, careers in clinical research, grant writing and more. 

 

Responsible Conduct in Research (RCR).  Postdocs at Duke have two options to fulfill RCR training on T32 and NIH/NSF training grants: online modules or a training session offered in the spring.  The online module is offered through the Collaborative Insitutional Training Initiative program (CITI).  The 4-part RCR training session is offered each spring via the Duke Clinical Research Unit.  Duke is in the process of expanding RCR training for postdocs.    Watch for announcements through the Office of Sponsored Programs, OSP. 

 

The Preparing Future Faculty program is open to all postdocs.  This program offers an Introduction to College Teaching course and a Teaching IDEAS workshops, among others. 

 

The School of Medicine Faculty Development program often has events pertinent to postdocs.   Current and past events have included Managing A Lab, Writing an R01, Life after the first R01, and grant electronic submissions.
