Job Description
New York University
Description: NYU Abu Dhabi invites applications for an
open-rank, two-year visiting faculty appointment in Philosophy.
Applicants should demonstrate a capacity to teach courses in
non-Western or other traditionally underrepresented areas of philosophy. The NYUAD Philosophy Program views philosophy as 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.
The teaching load for the year is four undergraduate courses (typically two in the Fall and two in
the Spring) plus capstone thesis advising. These courses may include introductory and advanced Philosophy electives and 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.
