New York University (NYU) is establishing a new comprehensive liberal arts campus in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD), a partner campus of New York University New York (NYUNY), will consist of a highly selective liberal arts college (Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences, Sciences and Engineering), distinctive graduate programs, and a world-class Institute for advanced research, scholarship, and creative work. NYUNY and NYUAD will be integrally connected, together forming the foundation of a unique global network university, actively linked as well to NYU's study and research sites on five continents.
The Division of Science, Engineering, Technology and Mathematics at NYUAD is now recruiting faculty of exceptional quality in teaching and in professional accomplishment. The Division is specifically looking for professors of Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Neuroscience, Mathematics and Physics. Recruited faculty will start by teaching an innovative, three-semester foundational core, called the Science Foundations series. The Science Foundations series is especially designed to integrate basic concepts from mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, computer science, and neuroscience and is required for all science majors at NYUAD. Science instruction at NYUAD will start in AY2010; however, applicants could start at NYUNY in September, 2009. Modern science laboratories will be constructed and become available for faculty research within a startup phase spread over several subsequent years. Faculty may spend time at NYU in New York and at its other global campuses. The terms of employment are competitive compared to U.S. benchmarks and include housing and educational subsidies for children.
The review of applications will begin in January 2009 and will continue until the positions are filled. To apply for this position, please send ONE document only (pdf or word) via email to: nyuad.science@nyu.edu. This document should contain a cover letter (please address the letter to NYUAD Science Search Committee), a curriculum vitae, statements of teaching experience and research interests, contact information for references and representative publications. Electronic submissions are preferred, but you may also send a hard copy to: NYUAD Science Search Committee, New York University, 70 Washington Square South, Rm. 1242, New York, NY 10012.
