NYUAD Residential Fellowships
The NYU Abu Dhabi Research Institute invites scholars who wish to contribute to the vibrant research culture of NYUAD’s Saadiyat campus to apply for a residential fellowship, starting September 2019.
The Institute welcomes applications from scholars working in all areas of the Humanities related to the study of the Arab world, its rich literature and history, its cultural and artistic heritage, and its manifold connections with other cultures. This includes, among others, (Early) Islamic Intellectual History and Culture, any areas of particular relevance to the Gulf and MENASA regions, as well as projects thematically connected to existing research projects and initiatives at NYUAD’s divisions of Arts & Humanities and Social Sciences (see https://nyuad.nyu.edu/en/research.html).
Both distinguished scholars with an established reputation and promising young scholars who are in the beginning of their career can apply for a senior or postdoctoral research fellowship. The program awards one-year senior fellowships and one- / two-year postdoctoral fellowships.
Each fellow receives a competitive stipend commensurate with experience, housing, health insurance, work/office space on campus, full access to NYUAD’s library facilities (with close connections to NYU’s main library in New York), research allowance, an opportunity to host a small workshop funded by the Research Institute, and support for travel to and from Abu Dhabi.
We expect successful candidates to commence their appointment on September 1st, 2019, pending final budgetary and administrative approval.
The fellowship program is hosted by the NYU Abu Dhabi Research Institute. For more information, please visit:
Applications are due November 1, 2018.
