The REGAL (Research to Eliminate GlobAL Cancer Disparities) team at Duke University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join a rigorous, data-intensive research program focused on advancing cancer health
equity in the U.S. and globally. This position is designed for scientists with strong computational and quantitative training who are eager to apply advanced epidemiologic and biostatistical methods to complex, multi-level data. The Postdoctoral Associate will train under the primary mentorship of Dr. Tomi Akinyemiju, with additional support from junior faculty and senior postdoctoral fellows, within a highly
collaborative and methodologically driven research environment. The position emphasizes the development and application of advanced analytical approaches to address fundamental questions in cancer disparities, while building a strong foundation for an independent research trajectory. REGAL is a multidisciplinary research program integrating social epidemiology, molecular epidemiology, and global health to investigate
the drivers of cancer disparities across the prevention and survivorship continuum. Our work leverages large-scale cohort studies, registry data, and multi-omics platforms to generate actionable, high-impact insights. The team operates at the intersection of epidemiologic theory, quantitative methods, and translational science, with a strong emphasis on rigorous study design, reproducible analytics, and integration
