Duke-DKU Global Fellows Program Guidelines for the 2022-2023 Fellowship Applications accepted on a rolling basis up to December 15, 2021, by 5pm (EST). Review of applications will begin on November 1st. 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. 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 Fellow’s 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. 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
program and have advanced to doctoral candidate status at the time of
application. Students who expect to complete their doctoral degree before the
fellowship year begins are also welcome to apply. B.
Applicants should: a.
Have completed between 5 and 7 years of doctoral
study at the time of application. b.
Be able to participate in the fellowship for at
least 7 weeks of the 2022-23 academic year. Conditional on a successful review,

Expect to devote themselves full time to their
teaching and research during the time at DKU. Fellows may not undertake other
teaching or research opportunities at DKU, Duke or elsewhere during the period
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 “banked” for use in a subsequent year,
though this should not limit a department’s 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,
and who have completed their dissertation or are close to completing their
dissertation. C. Fellow selection will be guided by the need, priorities and preferences for particular fields and courses expressed by DKU. The number and type of Fellows needed will vary somewhat from year to year. Application
