Open position at Duke University

Duke has an opening for a NTT faculty position (formal job announcement is below). Please feel welcome to apply or help spread the word to your department’s graduate students, post docs, or anyone else who is currently engaged in a job search. The appointment is initially a 3 year term with an expectation of renewal (it is a critical position in the department). I think it’s particularly important to make clear that this is a long-term career position with a ladder for promotions.

Thank you for your consideration.

With kind regards,
Dori
