We recruit outstanding faculty from around the world for tenure-track, tenured, and fixed-term positions at NYUAD. Those appointed to Standing Faculty positions are eligible to spend an introductory year with a sponsoring department, unit, or school at NYUNY. During that time, they teach, come to know faculty colleagues, and build connections between NYUAD and NYUNY. We are actively recruiting for Standing Faculty in a number of disciplines. See Open Positions for more information.
