The Department of Integrative Immunobiology (immunobiology.duke.edu), in the Duke University School of Medicine, invites applications for tenure-track faculty positions.

We anticipate making at least one tenure track appointment at the Assistant Professor level in the Department of Integrative Immunobiology (IIB), but appointments to the rank of Associate or Professor level will be considered for exceptional applicants.

Duke IIB’s research mission is to understand how the immune system functions with an overarching goal of preventing and treating human diseases. We are particularly interested in candidates with research programs focused on innate and adaptive immunity, tumor immunology, and neuroimmunity, but will consider all programs in the broader field of immunobiology.

Please visit immunobiology.duke.edu/join-us to learn more about IIB and our mission.
