How to Grow Your Confidence at Work

Over the past four years, around 500 Duke faculty members from all schools have invested time in working with a professional coach in the Office for Faculty Advancement. Four faculty members volunteered to share some insights.

More than 100 Duke faculty — from Justus Adamson to Junjie Zhang — were promoted to the professor rank in 2025 or hired at the rank of full professor since last year’s list. Their schools include Divinity, Fuqua, Law, Medicine, Nicholas, Nursi...

This achievement is the combination of a rigorous and thorough review by faculty peers inside and outside Duke and by the academic leaders at the department/division, school and campus levels.
