To apply, please submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a one-page teaching statement (including courses previously taught and planned and any professional development focused on teaching), a one-page statement describing their approach to equitable and inclusive teaching and mentoring, and the names of three professional references. Though not required, candidates may optionally provide a one-page research statement that describes possible collaborations with Duke Biology faculty or ideas for supporting undergraduate student research.
