Description The Opportunity New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) seeks an accomplished scholar and visionary leader to serve as its next Dean of the Division of Social Science. This is a rare opportunity to shape a dynamic academic division at a pivotal moment in the university’s evolution. The Dean will lead a vibrant community of scholars who advance foundational and applied research on some of the most pressing issues of our time - ranging from inequality, governance, and social change - within a highly international and interdisciplinary environment. The Division The Social Science Division is home to over 80 full-time faculty, including a Nobel Laureate in Economics and a vibrant community of post-doctoral researchers in Economics, Political Science, Social Research & Public Policy, Business Organizations & Society, and Legal Studies. The Division offers five undergraduate majors as well as graduate programs. Faculty conduct world-class research that is both theoretically rigorous and globally engaged, with collaborations spanning every continent and close ties to policy and practice in the UAE and beyond. The Division’s research strength is internationally recognized - Economics at NYUAD ranks 4th in Asia in Research Papers in Economics, and Political Science ranks 6th globally according to a recent study. Its faculty regularly publish in leading disciplinary and interdisciplinary journals. The Dean will have a unique opportunity to capitalize on this momentum: building on the Division’s existing strengths in graduate education, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the global and local visibility of its research and teaching.
