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.

About NYU Abu Dhabi

Founded in partnership with New York University and the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, NYUAD is an extraordinary achievement in global higher education.

Its more than 370 faculty members include 4 Nobel laureates. The faculty are situated across five divisions spanning Arts and Humanities, Science, Engineering, Social Science, and Stern at NYUAD.  They are drawn from leading institutions worldwide. NYUAD’s research and teaching are deeply integrated with NYU’s global network, offering opportunities for collaboration and mobility across New York and Shanghai.

The Role

The Dean reports to the Provost and serves as a key member of NYUAD’s senior leadership team. As the Division’s chief academic officer, the Dean will provide strategic leadership for its faculty, curricula, and research agenda, championing excellence and innovation in both research and pedagogy. The role also carries significant responsibility for fostering an accessible and collaborative academic community and for representing the Division’s strengths to partners within and beyond NYU.

As part of the senior administration, the Dean must work effectively and collegially with other deans as well as academic and administrative leaders. In addition to engaging with members of the Division of Social Science, they must also be able to work with faculty across the institution. The Dean must be committed to two-way communication, to fostering trust, and to building community at the campus, national, and international levels.

Specifically, the Dean will be a catalyst in addressing the following key challenges and opportunities for the Division: 


	Recruiting and retaining an excellent, collaborative, and engaged faculty
	Enhancing interdisciplinary research, scholarship, and creative activity
	Delivering programs that maximize the excellence and societal impact of NYUAD
	Engaging the Abu Dhabi and UAE community 
	Cultivating and promoting the values and vision of NYUAD and the NYU Global Network
