NYU Abu Dhabi is searching for new faculty to conduct important research
and teach the next generation of global leaders. The Division of Social
Science <https://nyuad.nyu.edu/en/academics/divisions/social-science.html>
invites
applications for a tenured/tenure-track position in Political Science. This
position is open with respect to rank and subfield, though scholars in the
fields of international relations and Middle East are especially encouraged
to apply. We particularly welcome applications from female scholars as well
as members of traditionally underrepresented groups. The appointment will
begin on September 1, 2021, or September 1, 2022, subject to final budget
approval.
NYUAD values diversity, inclusion, belonging, and equity; such principles
are fundamental to the university's commitment to excellence. Our faculty
are the engines that sustain our inclusive environment; NYUAD students come
from more than 115 countries, with no single one nationality exceeding more
than 15 percent of the total student population. Likewise, our faculty are
highly diverse and community-minded: our modern campus is home to over 320
faculty who represent more than 45 different nationalities, all of whom
bring a global perspective to their classrooms and research projects.
Research is advanced by over 400 highly qualified research staff, who are
likewise drawn from all over the world.
NYU Abu Dhabi's unique location in the Middle East makes it an ideal
headquarters for social scientists working to better understand global
societies, both past, and present. The disciplines in this field seek to
deepen our understanding of how people behave in a wide variety of contexts
and to assess the consequences of individual, group, and societal
decisions.
