Duke University
Center for the Study of Aging and Human Development

Through its NIA-funded T32, the Duke University Center for the Study of Aging
and Human Development will have available 3 two-year postdoc slots for the
2016-2017 year. Those slots can be funded on September 1, 2016 and must be
funded before August 31, 2017. These slots are open to anyone with an interest
in and a track record of aging research. Mentors must be regular rank faculty
from Duke University. Admissions procedures are available on
http://centerforaging.duke.edu/application-process.

The first step is to e-mail Dr. Deborah T. Gold and let her know you are
potentially interested in a fellowship. Please include a cv with that inquiry.
Everything flows from that first contact.

We look forward to hearing from you. If you know others who may be interested
in this opportunity, please send them the URL of this announcement: 
http://centerforaging.duke.edu/program-requirements

We do try to review applications on a rolling basis, so it will be to your
advantage to submit as soon as possible

If you have questions about the deadlines or the applications themselves,
please contact me at your convenience

The goal of our postdoctoral research training program is to produce highly
skilled research scientists who have the potential for leadership in
gerontological research. In the Duke Research Training Program (RTP), much of
the training for each fellow is provided by that person’s faculty mentor(s) in
a research apprenticeship program. A fellow carries out his/her own research
as a junior colleague in the mentor’s research program or laboratory. In
addition to working in their mentors’ programs, all fellows attend a weekly
interdisciplinary didactic seminar.

Program Requirements

Applicants must be citizens of the United States, or have been lawfully
admitted to the United States for permanent residence. You must have a
completed doctoral degree when you join the program. All course work must be
completed, and if applying as a Ph.D., final orals must be passed, and the
dissertation signed before you can begin the program.

Application Deadline: 31-Aug-2016 (Open until filled)

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and 
as such can receive donations through the eLinguistics Foundation, 
which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal 
Tax number is 45-4211155. These donations can be offset against 
your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). 
For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial 
advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that 
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. 
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department 
and sending us a form that the eLinguistics Foundation fills in and 
returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative 
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if 
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
