Professor of Information Systems (Tenured/Tenure-Track) – NYU Abu Dhabi

Role Overview
Are you a senior scholar who enjoys building ideas, programs, and people? Do you like working where business meets technology? Stern at NYU Abu Dhabi invites applications for a tenured or tenure-track Associate or Full Professor in Information Systems and Technology. This role sits within the Technology, Operations, and Statistics group and focuses on the fast-moving space of digital technologies, data, and artificial intelligence. You will join a global campus where research, teaching, and real-world impact matter every day.

Why This Role Stands Out
This is more than a faculty job. It is a chance to shape a new business school backed by NYU Stern’s global reputation and NYU Abu Dhabi’s strong academic base. You will teach future leaders from around the world while growing your research in a well-funded, supportive environment. Curious about what it feels like to help build something from the ground up, with world-class support behind you? This role offers exactly that.

Key Responsibilities
You will conduct high-quality research in information systems, digital innovation, artificial intelligence, or data science. You will publish in top academic journals and contribute to the field through service and leadership. You will design and teach core and elective courses in technology-related areas at the undergraduate, MBA, and EMBA levels. You will support program development and help strengthen Stern at NYUAD as it grows. You will engage with a diverse academic community and take part in institution building.

Teaching and Research Focus
Teaching is central to this role. Courses may include artificial intelligence in business, data analytics, digital strategy, or emerging technologies. Research should sit at the intersection of technology and business, with clear relevance to today’s digital economy. Do you enjoy turning complex ideas into clear lessons? Do you like seeing theory come alive in the classroom? This role values both skills.
