FACULTY POSITION
Arabic Literature
NYU ABU DHABI

New York University Abu Dhabi seeks to appoint a leading scholar at the
level of associate or full professor in the field of Arabic Literature.
Experienced junior scholars may also be considered. The successful candidate
will have the opportunity to play an integral role in fashioning a complete
international research university oriented around the liberal arts. We are
looking for a literary scholar who maintains an active agenda of research,
has substantial publication, and has demonstrated commitment to
undergraduate teaching.

Members of NYU Abu Dhabi’s standing faculty receive generous support for
research and travel.  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.

Review of applications will begin on December 1, 2010 and will continue
until the position is filled. Letters of application should be uploaded in
PDF format to our website at
http://nyuad.nyu.edu/human.resources/open.positions.html and addressed to
Professor Jacques Lezra, Chair, Department of Comparative Literature, New
York University, New York, NY 10003.  Candidates should also submit a
curriculum vitae and a statement of research and teaching interests. Junior
candidates are asked to submit sample publications and three letters of
reference as well. If you have any questions about the application
procedure, please e-mail nyuad.humanities at nyu.edu.

NYU Abu Dhabi is an Equal Opportunity/ Affirmative Action Employer. Women
and minorities are encouraged to apply.
