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 Social Science Division is home to over 80 full-time faculty, including a Nobel Laureate in Economics and a vibrant community of postdoctoral 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 worldclass 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.
Founded in partnership with New York University and the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, NYUAD is an extraordinary achievement in global higher education. Since opening in 2010, it has become one of the most selective universities in the world with a 2025 admit rate of 2.7 percent, enrolling students from over 120 countries. NYU Abu Dhabi has produced 24 Rhodes Scholars. 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.
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.
NYUAD is an equalopportunity employer. We welcome applications from all qualified candidates and seek individuals who will contribute to the excellence and vibrancy of our academic community.
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 twoway communication, to fostering trust, and to building community at the campus, national, and international levels.
Candidates should hold a PhD in a social science discipline and possess a record of research, publication, and teaching that merits appointment as a tenured full Professor at NYUAD. They will be internationally recognized scholars with proven leadership experience and intellectual breadth to guide a diverse division covering multiple disciplines. The successful candidate will combine academic distinction with sound judgment and the ability to inspire others around a shared vision, while demonstrating strong leadership in managing, supporting, and developing faculty and staff.
