Professor of Art and Art History (Artist)
Division of Arts and Humanities
New York University Abu Dhabi

The Division of Arts and Humanities at New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) invites applications for an open rank (tenure-track / tenured) faculty to begin on September 1st 2023 in The Art and Art History Program. The Program is in the midst of exciting renewal as we fulfil our commitment to equity-focused teaching practices and diversity in the design of our curriculum and new degrees. We are eager to welcome a colleague whose experiences, training, and practices will contribute to our efforts in developing the richly diverse landscape of artists and artistic production. We seek an established artist and a dynamic teacher-scholar with an MFA or a practice-based PhD and a track record of excellence in both teaching and creative work and the professional background to teach all levels of Studio Art at the undergraduate and graduate level. We welcome an artist with a recognized corpus of work and an international exhibition record whose practice combines art making with rigorous conceptual thought. We are, therefore, looking to appoint an innovative artist who works with a variety of media, techniques and forms of presentation, and whose work is deeply engaged with research in art practice. We welcome an artist who is also interested in forging interdisciplinary connections at NYUAD and with the region. The successful applicant will also have demonstrated commitment to service, including mentoring and advising students from diverse backgrounds and a desire to shape the future of the program through leadership roles and curriculum development. The successful candidate will be able to relate their own practice and research to other fields of study for collaborative teaching, learning and research opportunities. Responsibilities include undergraduate and graduate teaching and supervision in the Program, teaching in the Core Curriculum, and service to the university. A minimum of three years teaching experience is required.
