Offer Description

The Division of Engineering at NYU Abu Dhabi is searching for accomplished visiting faculty in Computer Engineering to educate the next generation of global leaders.

Applicants should have a relevant PhD and demonstrate an outstanding track record for their career stage in both research and teaching. The visiting position is for one academic year, and the expected teaching load is four courses (two courses per semester) with relatively small class sizes.

There are also opportunities to collaborate with faculty at NYU New York’s Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Tandon School of Engineering.
