The Office of Faculty Affairs collaborate with DODR to support Duke-DKU Faculty Mentoring Program, which is initiated to provide guidance by a group of senior Duke faculty to junior DKU faculty as they prepare for their tenure review. Duke mentors will meet with mentees monthly and they will also be invited for an in-person visit to DKU and participate in activities open to DKU faculty more broadly, such as panel discussions on APT and IDS.

Mentors will give

1. Advice on research progress and strategy towards tenure, e.g. writing IDS, optimizing time allocation between scholarship, teaching, and service.
2. Advice on research agenda and career development, e.g. grant applications, building collaborations, development of research projects.
3. Advice and feedback on publications, e.g. on mentees’ manuscripts and proposed publication venues, guidance on the book publishing process.
4. Advice on building connections with Duke e.g. with departments and institutes, opportunities for joint work, graduate student co-supervision.
