Soft Matter, Programs of Physics and Chemistry 
Professor - Tenured / Tenure Track (Open Rank) 
Division of Science 
NYU Abu Dhabi 

The Division of Science at NYU Abu Dhabi invites applications for a tenured or tenure-track, open-rank faculty position jointly within its Physics and Chemistry Programs in the area of soft matter. We particularly welcome applications from women as well as members of traditionally underrepresented groups. Multidisciplinary research and exceptional teaching in a highly diverse and inclusive campus community are hallmarks of the University’s mission. 

As part of a major multi-year growth plan, the general area of soft matter is of particular interest to us, and we invite applicants leading experimental or theoretical research programs. Applicants should demonstrate an outstanding track record for their career stage in both research and teaching. This includes publications in leading peer-reviewed journals, and participation in conferences. Candidates should demonstrate a potential to lead independent research project and be open to develop collaboration networks with other faculty and internationally, propose research projects that are likely to secure extramural research funding, and to act as inspirational teachers and mentors to undergraduate and graduate students. 

Faculty in the Chemistry and Physics Programs contribute to multidisciplinary research at NYU Abu Dhabi, and are currently working with faculty from other programs in areas that include materials, drug discovery and delivery, biological physics, and computer modelling. 

Successful candidates will receive a generous start-up package as well as renewable research funding to hire research assistants and postdocs, and will also have access to internal funding. Faculty have access to state-of-the-art core technology platforms that include (1) a fully equipped microscopy facility that houses confocal and stimulated emission depletion (STED) super-resolution microscopes, scanning and transmission electron and atomic force microscopes, and combined confocal Raman atomic force resolution and scanning near-field optical microscopy (AFM SNOM); (2) protein expression and purification facilities; (3) advanced DNA sequencing facilities; (4) equipment for spectroscopic, thermal and chemical analysis, including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometers; and (5) high-performance computing facilities with more than 12,000 CPU computing cores and 14 GPU nodes with a peak performance of approximately 400 TFLOPS. An additional 28,000 CPU cores and 22 GPU will be available soon for researchers.
