Since its founding in 2010, it has become one of the most selective institutions in the world and is home to a community of over 370 scholars across more than 90 research centers and laboratories. It is pioneering an innovative model of higher education for a global world, dedicated to excellence in both teaching and research to inspire cooperation and tackle humanity s greatest challenges.

NYU Abu Dhabi advances NYU as a beacon of learning for the 21st century and plays a key role in developing a sustainable, knowledge-based economy in Abu Dhabi.


The Division of Science at NYU Abu Dhabi is home to a thriving community of world-class faculty, researchers, undergraduate and graduate students from around the world. From its inception the division has fostered an innovative environment harnessing multidisciplinary research to respond to local and global challenges.  Along with the wider global network, it is also uniquely collaborative in pursuit of knowledge and discovery, across Divisions, the wider global network, and other partners in research and industry. The Division of Science is looking for a Dean who exemplifies the qualities of scholarship, innovation, and collaboration. They will join the Division at an exciting time, helping it develop its graduate programs and contribute to an ambitious growth in translational research in a country and context where remarkable energy and investment allow great ambition to be realized.


Reporting to the Provost, the Dean inspires and guides academic and administrative efforts, ensuring alignment with NYUAD s strategic goals and elevating its role within the NYU Global Network. Through their experience and passion for research and education, the Dean will help express the Division and NYUAD s mission, share its achievements, and enhance the university s identity and global positioning.  Accomplished in developing, retaining and attracting great talent, the Dean will lead an ambitious agenda, increasing the impact and quality of interdisciplinary research and new and innovative programs, fully engaging the potential of AI for research and education.


With the appetite and ability to build meaningful partnerships across the other Divisions and NYU s Global Network and with the Office for Research, Translation and Entrepreneurship, they will also be active in engaging industry, government, and other institutions to position Science at NYUAD as a driver of local impact and global innovation.  Sensitive to cultural dynamics, the Dean will embrace NYUAD s unique position within Abu Dhabi and the region while advancing its international aspirations. Fair and decisive, the Dean will be proactive in addressing challenges and seizing the remarkable opportunities Abu Dhabi and the region present.


Qualifications


Candidates will have an academic record appropriate for a tenured appointment as a full professor in one of the programs within the Division of Science at NYUAD (Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Math, Physics, Psychology) and a demonstrated track record of working closely with undergraduate and graduate students from a wide variety of backgrounds. The incoming Dean will have demonstrated success in hiring, mentoring and promoting exceptional faculty and providing an environment in which they can flourish through meaningful discourse and support for research, scholarship, and teaching, and a record of encouraging and facilitating innovation and collaboration across disciplines.  The successful candidate will be an individual with commitment to the ideals of a liberal arts education and to a strong research agenda, and will ideally have experience with multi-disciplinary collaboration, global education, and faculty and program development and capacity for administrative leadership, including supervision of staff, budget and financial planning, and operational oversight.
