candidates must have worked full-time (work experience obtained while studying
full-time is not considered as full-time work experience) for at least two
years in a relevant area (including post-doctoral work) after receiving their
Bachelor’s degree, or begin their appointment at DKU within 12 months of
obtaining their master’s degree/Ph.D. and without having full-time work
experience between graduation date on master’s degree diploma/Ph.D. diploma and
position start date. DKU is a collaborative
partnership of Duke University, Wuhan University and the Municipality of
Kunshan, China (https://dukekunshan.edu.cn/). Our campus
provides an innovative, interdisciplinary undergraduate liberal arts experience
to a student body that will number 2000 students and 150+ faculty, with an
acceptance rate of <8% and a student body represented by over 40 countries.
We also offer a series of Master’s level graduate programs. The DKU pedagogical
model draws on the best of Duke’s educational experience and resources to
reimagine undergraduate instruction on an intimate campus setting. Similar to the best
liberal arts colleges in the United States, DKU values dedication to teaching
excellence in a liberal arts environment, as well as a strong commitment to
successful scholarly engagement and research. This includes research with
undergraduate students. As a whole, the Duke Kunshan faculty will have
strong commitments to teaching and research, and outstanding quality in both
areas will be highly valued. Candidates must hold a
Ph.D. degree or equivalent in a relevant field. Research experience at a
postdoctoral level (or greater) and teaching experience are desirable, as is
experience working in an interdisciplinary setting. Applicants should provide a
cover letter including a clear statement of the candidate’s specific interest
in DKU, a curriculum vitae, a research statement, a teaching statement, and
three reference letters. All materials should be submitted through Academic
