The Duke Lemur Center employs both graduate and undergraduate Duke students that have work-study funds, both federal (75/25) and Duke (50/50).
Opportunities are available in our animal husbandry, education, veterinary medicine, development, communications, animal behavior, and fossil collection departments.
Openings are posted in August of each year on DukeList, per the Duke Financial Aid website. Search using "lemur" or "fossil" for any jobs available and listings will include specific details on who to contact. Should we have additional openings for the spring, those will be posted in January and if there are summer opportunities, look for those in April.
Some DLC work-study positions have specific health requirements, including proof of a negative TB test, proof of measles vaccine, and completion of the Duke Animal Handler Form. Instructions for submission of these requirements will be provided upon hiring.
Be advised that the Duke Lemur Center is located off-campus in the Duke Forest on the west side of 15-501, between Cameron Blvd. and West Cornwallis Road. The DLC works with Duke Transportation to offer free Lyft rides to work-study students who don't have their own transportation from campus.
