More than 100 Duke faculty — from Justus Adamson to Junjie Zhang — were promoted to the professor rank in 2025 or hired at the rank of full professor since last year’s list. Their schools include Divinity, Fuqua, Law, Medicine, Nicholas, Nursing, Pratt, Sanford and Trinity; in addition, two faculty members represent the Duke Global Health Institute.
“Congratulations to our faculty who have been promoted or appointed to the rank of full professor,” said Abbas Benmamoun, vice provost for faculty advancement. “This milestone is the culmination of a rigorous and thorough review by faculty peers inside and outside Duke and by the academic leaders at the department (or division), school and campus levels. The review process looks for distinction, leadership and impact in research, teaching and engagement and for prominence in the relevant area of expertise nationally and internationally. These faculty colleagues represent all facets of academic excellence that are essential to Duke’s core mission of discovery, education and engagement.”
