Duke Kunshan University is a highly selective research-oriented, liberal arts and sciences university that offers both an elite liberal arts education and an environment in which premier research centers can flourish. Similar to the best liberal arts colleges in the U.S., all DKU faculty are deeply involved in teaching and advising and lead research teams comprised primarily of undergraduates, and graduate students in some areas. Faculty should clearly demonstrate their ability to serve as highly effective teachers with a strong commitment to Duke Kunshan University’s educational programs, which place particular emphasis on liberal arts undergraduate education. Faculty performance as scholars whose work has been widely perceived among peers as outstanding is also important. As a whole, the Duke Kunshan faculty will have strong commitments to teaching and research and outstanding quality in both research and teaching will be highly valued.
