NYU Abu Dhabi invites applications for a full-time faculty position (open rank). We seek applications from an early-career scholar (tenure-track assistant professor level). Candidates should demonstrate strong potential for developing an independent research program. We also welcome applications from established scholars (Associate or Full Professor), who have a demonstrated record of excellence in research and leadership in the field.

We particularly encourage candidates working in any area of Social Psychology, including those adopting a developmental perspective in their approach, and candidates working in any area of Perception, Cognition, and Cognitive Development.

We seek scholars whose research intersects with and/or cuts across existing faculty domains of interest. Current strengths in the Psychology Program at NYU Abu Dhabi include vision, memory, language, political psychology, inequality, gender, early childhood development, and attachment and identity throughout the lifespan.

Successful candidates will find a vibrant research and teaching environment that includes supportive and highly motivated colleagues, access to significant research resources, and broad opportunities for interdisciplinary research. Faculty will have opportunities to collaborate across NYU’s global campus network.
