Office for Faculty Advancement
Building a Thriving Faculty Community Grounded in Inclusive Excellence
Duke Faculty Advancement provides leadership, guidance and oversight of university-wide strategies and programs to support faculty excellence and foster an inclusive and equitable learning, research and work environment. We offer faculty and leadership development programs and partner with Duke schools, departments and other academic units to advance faculty careers and enhance faculty success at Duke. We work to recruit and retain outstanding faculty and strive to promote an academic environment that lives up to the Duke values of respect, trust, inclusion, discovery and excellence.
