Dear Colleagues
Due to a clerical error, the online submission process for positions
at NYU Abu Dhabi was disabled in mid November. However, we are
continuing to consider applications this spring for the up to four
political science positions at NYU Abu Dhabi and encourage those
interested in applying. Therefore, we have fixed the problem and the
online submission process for positions is now re-opened. I apologize
to any that attempted to apply in the past month, but were unable to
do so. To apply now, please go to:

NYUAD is designed to be a "World Honors College." The first class of
150 students at NYUAD, starting their studies this fall, were drawn
from 39 different countries on six continents. Approximately one-third
are from the United States; the next most popular countries of
residence are the UAE, China, Hungary, and Russia. 87% of these
students speak more than two languages and 40% speak three or more
languages. The admissions process for the first class (which stated
this fall) was highly competitive, and yielded a class with
exceptional academic qualifications, with SAT scores that rank the
school in the top six of US Universities who are on a par with
students from top US institutions such as Harvard, Yale, and Princeton
(770 on verbal and 780 on math). Students are taught in small classes
and regular faculty have teaching assistance from postdoctoral
fellows. The standard teaching load is approximately three courses a
semester so that faculty can both be attentive to students' needs and
also have ample time for their own research (extensive financial
support for faculty research is also provided). New hires typically
spend their first year at NYU NYC before moving to NYUAD and housing
support and other assistance in living arrangements is generally
provided both in NYC and Abu Dhabi.
A most promising development for us is that in the first class a large
proportion of the students intend to major in political science, with
another large number intending to have a second major in political
science. The only major that is more popular is economics. NYUAD is
currently recruiting students for the second class and these students
are expected to have the same primary interests in political science
and economics. We have devised an exciting political science
curriculum for these students, which can be found at:
