The post is expected to be available from January 2016, pending budgetary approval.

We are seeking an energetic researcher/teacher who is interested in the opportunity to join a fast-growing and innovative department.

UAE University is the largest and most comprehensive federal university in the UAE.

The University recently moved to a newly-built campus, equipped with state of the art educational technology in all classrooms and laboratories. The University is developing rapidly into a research-intensive, globally recognized institution, and has high expectations for the research capacity of its faculty members.

The city of Al-Ain, where the university is located, is often described as a garden city of palm trees, grassy parks and low rise buildings set in the mountainous inland region of the UAE. Al Ain is a very safe and clean city with a cosmopolitan population. The larger cities of Abu Dhabi and Dubai are an easy 1.5 hour drive on modern highways.
