The Associate Director reports to the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Curricular Affairs and will chair a university-wide committee of stakeholders that will serve as consultative body. The successful candidate must be able to obtain tenure at DKU. DKU is a collaborative partnership of Duke University, Wuhan University, and the Municipality of Kunshan, China (https://dukekunshan.edu.cn/).
