The teaching load is three undergraduate courses per year (semester system), including at least one in the core curriculum. Other terms of employment are competitive compared to U.S. benchmarks and include housing and educational subsidies for children. Standing faculty members are affiliated with relevant departments at NYU in New York. They typically begin their appointments with a year of reduced teaching at NYU’s Washington Square campus. Thereafter, they will have the opportunity to spend semesters at NYU in New York or at other campuses within NYU’s global network. The appointment may begin as soon as September 1, 2011 but could be delayed until September 1, 2012.
Situated at a new global crossroads, NYU Abu Dhabi is integrally connected to NYU New York. The faculties collaborate across the two campuses, which form the foundation of a unique global network university and are linked to NYU’s other study and research sites on five continents.
Alongside its highly selective liberal arts college, NYU Abu Dhabi is creating distinctive graduate programs and a world-class institute for advanced research that fosters creative work across the Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences, Sciences, and Engineering. The international character of NYUAD is reflected in the global composition of the faculty and the student body as well as the research agenda and curriculum, which have been designed to promote inventiveness, intellectual curiosity, multidisciplinary interest, and intercultural understanding.
