The Division of Science at NYU Abu Dhabi is searching for accomplished visiting faculty in Physics to educate the next generation of global leaders. Multidisciplinary research and exceptional teaching in a highly diverse and inclusive campus community are hallmarks of the University’s mission. 

NYUAD values diversity, inclusion, belonging, and equity; such principles are fundamental to the university's commitment to excellence. Our faculty are the engines that sustain our inclusive environment; NYUAD students come from more than 115 countries, with no single one nationality exceeding more than 15 percent of the total student population. Likewise, our faculty are highly diverse and community-minded: our modern campus is home to over 320 faculty who represent more than 45 different nationalities, all of whom bring a global perspective to their classrooms and research projects. Research is advanced by over 400 highly qualified research staff, who are likewise drawn from all over the world. 

The visiting position is typically for one academic year and the expected teaching load is four courses with relatively small class sizes. 

 Faculty in the Physics program contribute to the multidisciplinary research at NYU Abu Dhabi and work in fields such as astrophysics, particle physics and biophysics, and have links with faculty from other programs in NYUAD and in the Center for Cosmology and Particle Physics in NYU.
