Our DST Scholars
Now is the time to move the university forward by investing in one of its greatest assets — its faculty.
Every hire of a senior scientist creates an ecosystem that has an exponential impact on opportunities at the university, from grant funding and corporate partnerships to new labs with openings for post-docs, graduate students and undergraduate research. Every hire of a young rising star in science and technology provides the new perspectives needed to accomplish the aims of an effort as ambitious as DST and position Duke as a leader for decades to come. We're excited to welcome these scholars to Duke through the Duke Science and Technology hiring efforts.
