How to Apply

Each Spring, the Graduate School will offer an Information Session about the Preparing Future Faculty program, and will announce when application materials will be accepted (usually after April 1). The deadline to submit all materials is June 1 of each year, and PFF Fellows will be selected in July or August. This is an annual program that follows the academic calendar, and we expect those selected as Fellows to participate during the entire year. Typically about 30 PFF Fellows are selected annually (including up to 5 postdoctoral fellows at Duke).

TO SUBMIT MATERIALS:

Applications will be accepted beginning April 1.

Deadline to submit application materials:  June 1 each year.

Please submit all materials electronically via email to Kris Moyle at klmoyle@duke.edu.
