Susan Alberts, PhD (she/her/hers)

Robert F. Durden Distinguished Professor of Biology and Evolutionary Anthropology
Duke University
Durham, North Carolina, United States

Susan Alberts is The Robert F. Durden Professor of Biology and Evolutionary Anthropology at Duke University. She studies the biology of aging in wild primates, including behavior, ecology, physiology, and genetics, using longitudinal, individual-based data. She has spent 30 years studying wild primates in Kenya as part of the Amboseli Baboon Research Project, based in southern Kenya. Her recent work has focused on leveraging the rich potential of long-term, prospective, longitudinal data on the baboons of the Amboseli basin in Kenya in order to generate insights about the social and biological determinants of survival. She received her PhD from University of Chicago and pursued postdoctoral research as NIH Fellow (University of Chicago), a Junior Fellow (Harvard University) and a Bunting Fellow (Radcliffe). She has been on the faculty at Duke University since 1998, supervising undergraduate and graduate students as well as postdoctoral researchers.
