together with a demonstrated commitment to undergraduate teaching. The

fashioning a complete international research university oriented around the
liberal arts. We encourage applicants in the field of film/media production,
including directing, producing, editing, animation, experimental film,
narrative, and documentary. Ideal candidates have projects/interest in the

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.
