The Division of Social Science at New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) is inviting applications for a tenure-track position in Economics and Data Science. The successful candidate’s tenure home would be in the Economics program and will hold an affiliation in the new MSc in Interdisciplinary Data Science and AI (MIDSAI). The position carries a teaching load of three courses per year, one of which will be for MIDSAI.

As NYUAD is a research university, we seek applicants with an active research agenda in economics and AI. The ideal candidate will be a leader in applying data science and AI tools to questions in economics, or conducting empirical research on the economic implications of AI. This specialization is broadly construed and might include research related to big data collection, machine learning, natural language processing, image or video analysis, network inference, computational finance, online platforms and algorithmic behavior, and more. We are especially interested in scholars who work effectively in multidisciplinary teams and environments. All candidates should demonstrate important contributions to their area of research.
