Duke-DKU Global Fellows Program Guidelines for the 2021-2022 Fellowship Applications accepted on a rolling basis up to November 1, 2020, by 5pm (EST). Review of applications will begin on October 15th. The Duke-DKU Global Fellows Program is designed to offer an international experience to post-doctoral scholars or advanced doctoral students whose records demonstrate excellence in teaching and an interest in pursuing an academic career. Duke-DKU Global Fellows teach at Duke Kunshan University (DKU) for the Undergraduate Program. Up to five (5) Fellows will be named for 2021-2022. Most courses at DKU are taught in 7-week terms; a few courses are taught over a semester. Contact hours for all classes are the same; in particular, the number of contact hours for a 7-week course is the same as a 14-week course. Courses might include sections of common courses, distinct elective courses, lab sections or recitations. Assignment of classes will be determined by Fellow specific expertise and by DKU teaching needs. The Fellowship is contingent upon successful receipt of the appropriate type of Chinese visa. Fellows may teach for a 7-week term up to a full academic year based on DKU teaching needs and the Fellowâs availability and his/her related education and experience required for immigration purposes. The award carries a $13,000 stipend ($17,000 for fellows who have completed their PhD) for two courses, a $1,500 allowance for costs related to research or course preparation, travel costs to/from China, health insurance, and a housing allowance. For 2021-22, post-doctoral fellows or advanced doctoral students from all disciplines are invited to apply. Eligibility for the Duke-DKU Global Fellows
Program A.
Applicants must have recently completed a university
doctoral program, or be full-time students, in good standing, in a university doctoral

of the fellowship. NOTE FOR DUKE APPLICANTS ONLY: When
applicable, the DKU Global Fellows Program replaces other graduate school
stipend and scholarship funding a student may have been scheduled to receive
for the fellowship year. Eligibility for other funding cannot be âbankedâ for
use in a subsequent year, though this should not limit a departmentâs internal
funding structure. Fellows who receive offers for other awards should contact
the Graduate School to determine whether the two awards may be held
concurrently. The Duke-DKU Fellowship will cover tuition fees at Duke University
for a semester. Selection Process A.
Applicants from all disciplines are invited to
apply. B.
Preference will be given to applicants with
demonstrated excellence in teaching, a commitment to liberal arts education,
