position is open with regard to rank including tenured, tenure track and
non-tenure track. Mid-career and senior faculty are especially encouraged to
apply. As an international intellectual community that
encourages diversity, openness and creative learning, DKU welcomes outstanding
faculty from around the world who contribute diverse perspectives and
experiences to a global learning and research environment. DKU particularly
welcomes applications from underrepresented groups and minorities. In order to meet Chinese visa requirements, prior to
the position start date international (non-Chinese) 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 work experience between graduation date on

Wuhan University and the Municipality of Kunshan, China (https://dukekunshan.edu.cn/ ). Our campus
provides an innovative and robustly 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 60 countries. We also offer a discrete number 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
