Dean of Social Science
New York University Abu Dhabi
New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) is an extraordinary
achievement and unparalleled opportunity in higher education. In
the decade since its founding it has become one of the most
selective undergraduate institutions in the world. It is both
transformational for the region, and critical to New York
University’s vision to be at the forefront of international higher
education in the 21st century.
NYUAD values diversity, inclusion and belonging. It enrolls what is
perhaps the most diverse student body in higher education, with
students from more than 115 countries with no one nationality
exceeding 15 percent. It is also one of the most selective, with an
average admit rate of 4%. There are currently more than 1,450
undergraduate students enrolled under a need-blind admission policy
with remarkable financial aid, with the plan for the number to grow
to 2,200 undergraduates and 400 graduate students in the coming
years. Across its four divisions NYUAD is home to more than 320
faculty and 400 research staff, also drawn from all over the
world.
NYUAD offers degrees built upon an inspiring, highly globalized
core curriculum and currently offers doctoral students research
areas in five disciplines, with additional graduate programs and
executive education being proposed each year. NYUAD’s faculty and
students alike benefit from being part of NYU’s incomparable
network, which provides them with opportunities to study and
research across the world.
NYUAD is now seeking its next Dean for the Division of Social
Science. Situated at one of the world’s cultural cross-roads,
social science at NYUAD has access to some of the most ancient and
rapidly developing communities and is in a remarkable position to
analyse humanity in all its diversity and complexity. Its faculty
are working on fieldwork projects throughout the region on topics
ranging from religious mobilization in Turkey to economic
development in sub-Saharan Africa.
The Dean of Social Science of NYU Abu Dhabi has a unique
opportunity to play a formative role in helping NYUAD achieve its
ambitious agenda, advancing diversity and inclusion and growing
research, scholarship, and educational programming, whilst
providing leadership and oversight of a highly-accomplished faculty
and unique curricula, research and teaching in a dynamic, diverse
and developing environment.
