ece-announcements@nyu.eduAbout UsNew York University (NYU) is one of the top private universities in the United States with an unparalleled network of global campuses and academic centers. NYU's Tandon School of Engineering, located in the heart of Brooklyn, dates back to 1854, the founding year of both the New York University School of Civil Engineering and Architecture and the Brooklyn Collegiate and Polytechnic Institute. Backed by an historic commitment of $1 billion and under the new leadership of Juan de Pablo as the University's Executive Vice President for Global Science and Technology and Tandon's Executive Dean, the Engineering School is entering an exciting new phase to recruit world-class faculty conducting groundbreaking basic and applied research in key areas. We are home to a community of renowned faculty and undergraduate and graduate students united in a mission to understand and create technology that powers cities, enables worldwide communication, fights climate change, and builds healthier, safer, and more equitable real and digital worlds. The school's culture centers on encouraging rigorous, interdisciplinary collaboration and research; fostering inclusivity, entrepreneurial thinking, and diverse perspectives; and creating innovative and accessible pathways for lifelong learning in STEM.
NYU Tandon is committed to substantially increase the proportion of our faculty from historically underrepresented groups in STEM and we encourage candidates from such groups to apply. We aspire to create a climate where diversity and inclusion are not only appreciated but considered an asset for creativity and innovation, and we seek faculty who have a real passion for a culturally diverse environment. We take pride in our high numbers of female students and students who are the first in their family to go to college. NYU belongs to the Higher Education Recruitment Consortium (HERC), which assists with dual-career searches, and our faculty are supported by a range of work-life balance programs provided by the NYU Office of Work Life.
Additional InformationIn compliance with NYC's Pay Transparency Act, the annual 9 month salary range is $70,000 - $110,000 for the Faculty Fellowship position. New York University considers factors such as (but not limited to) scope and responsibilities of the position, candidate's work experience, education/training, key skills, internal peer equity, as well as market and organizational considerations when extending an offer.
