We seek an experimental neuroscientist who can assist in establishing DKU’s
first animal facility. This call is open with regard to rank including
tenured, tenure track and non-tenure track positions. 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

collaborative partnership of Duke University, 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
