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 economics or a related discipline. The appointment will begin September 1, 2026, 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 Professors Morgan Hardy and Veda Narasimhan. The collaborative research will focus on projects related to firms, employment, climate change, and migration often involving fieldwork in various African and Asian contexts. We seek a candidate with expertise in managing complex fieldwork on the African and Asian continents, including survey data collection and experimental research designs. The candidate should have a demonstrated overlapping interest in topics related to Morgan Hardy and Veda Narasimhan’s existing research portfolios. This is an excellent position for candidates entering the final year of a PhD program who are looking to postpone the formal economics job market and build a strong academic record. 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, statement of research interests, and two reference letters including a letter of reference from a primary PhD advisor, all in PDF format. If you have any questions, please email Morgan Hardy at morgan.hardy@nyu.edu and Veda Narasimhan at veda.narasimhan@nyu.edu. Applications will be accepted until August 1st, 2025.
