We are inviting applications for a Post-doctoral Associate in the Division of Social Science at NYU Abu Dhabi from individuals who have or will soon receive a PhD in one of the social sciences or a related discipline. The appointment will begin September 1, 2025, subject to final budget approval and is available for up to three years.
The post-doctoral associate will spend half their time on independent research, and half their time on collaborative research with Professor Christopher Paik. The collaborative research will focus on statehood, state capacity, or development in a historical context. As such, a candidate with a background in any of the following fields should apply: economic history, cultural economics, global historical sociology, historical political economy and comparative politics. Within these fields, candidates who are interested in historical statehood and state capacity, political fragmentation and social attitudes, territoriality and nomads, historical legacies of cultural interaction, or colonialism are ideal. The ideal candidate will have expertise in formal modelling and/or research methods including (but not limited to) geospatial and statistical analysis, large language models, and machine learning.
The position does not require teaching, but it may be possible to get teaching experience for compensation. You would join a group of over 20 post-doctoral fellows and 70 faculty in the Division of Social Science.
For consideration, applicants must submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae with full publication list, statement of research interests, and two letters of reference, all in PDF format. If you have any questions, please email Professor Paik at [email protected] . Applications will be accepted until March 31, 2025.
