NYU Abu Dhabi
NYU Abu Dhabi invites applications for a one year open-rank,
one-year visiting faculty appointment in Philosophy.
Philosophers of all research specialties are encouraged to apply,
but applicants should have a demonstrated capacity to teach courses
in South Asian, East Asian, Latin American, or African philosophy.
The NYUAD Philosophy Program recognizes that philosophy has become
a fully global discipline, and its curriculum strives to integrate
the study of contemporary international philosophy with an
understanding of philosophy’s rich multicultural history.
Teaching load for the year is four undergraduate courses (typically
2 in Fall, 2 in Spring) plus capstone thesis advising. These
courses may include introductory and advanced Philosophy electives,
as well as courses in NYUAD’s distinctive Core Curriculum. (All
instruction is in English.)
Visiting faculty (if not retired) must be able to obtain a leave of
absence and a letter of no objection from their home
institution.
The NYUAD academic calendar typically starts the last week of
August and ends in the last week of May. Candidates must be willing
to relocate to the UAE in time for the beginning of the
semester.
