Principles for Faculty Searches

Duke University is committed to fostering an academic environment where all members of its community can thrive and contribute to the institution’s mission of excellence in teaching, research, and service. Duke is committed to rigorous, welcoming, and inclusive searches to recruit and hire the most talented faculty. 

Faculty play a critical role in upholding these values and are expected to adhere to the highest standards of professional and ethical conduct in all aspects of their roles. The Office of Faculty Affairs, The Office of Faculty Advancement, and The Office of Institutional Equity offer training and best practices for conducting faculty searches.
