New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) and New York
University Shanghai (NYUSH) are searching for Global Academic Fellows (GAFs)
specializing in biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, engineering,
sociology, political science, economics, statistics, and writing to participate
in their highly-selective Global Academic Fellowship Program. This program is
designed for young professionals who have or will have recently completed their
academic study, have a passion for their discipline, and wish to share this
enthusiasm with high-achieving international students.
The Global Academic Fellowship Program provides unique
opportunities to explore teaching, work closely with faculty, serve an
international population, gain administrative experience, and enhance a
developing university community both as a leader and community member. GAFs
provide academic support and enrichment to the outstanding student body of
either NYUAD or NYUSH who herald from over 100 countries and speak nearly 100
distinct languages. GAFs ensure that these students not only succeed but excel
in their academic and personal development.
Science and mathematics GAFs are responsible for teaching
break-out recitations for select science and math courses, holding office hours
for one-on-one or small group tutoring, providing homework assistance,
proctoring and grading course quizzes and exams, and supporting faculty in
providing quality educative experiences for students. In addition to academic
support, GAFs frequently partner with various departments to enhance the
services provided to students and faculty as well as to develop skill-sets to
prepare them for their post-fellowship endeavors.
Engineering GAFs
support foundational-year engineering courses by providing laboratory
assistance, one-on-one tutoring support, and small group review sessions. In addition to academic support, GAFs frequently
partner with various departments to enhance the services provided to students
and faculty as well as to develop skill-sets to prepare them for their
post-fellowship endeavors.
Global Academic Fellows in the Writing Program play an
integral role in the development of students’ written and oral expression
throughout the four years of their education—from the first-year experience to
the Capstone project. Writing GAFs help the writing faculty with assessment and
course placement; serve as writing and/or speech consultants in the Writing
Center; give individualized tutorials as part of Analysis & Expression and
writing-intensive classes; may provide writing support in secondary academic
assignments; consult with faculty on best writing and speaking practices across
the curriculum; provide individual and group support for Capstone projects; and
support Writing Program and Writing Center initiatives (such as special
workshops, website development, and curricular or extra-curricular
events). Writing GAFs participate in
development workshops throughout the year, engage in their own writing projects,
and will be asked to meet deadlines and share their ongoing work as part of
staff development. In addition to academic support, GAFs frequently partner
with various departments to enhance the services provided to students and
faculty as well as to develop skill-sets to prepare them for their
post-fellowship endeavors.
Social Science GAFs are responsible for teaching break-out
recitations for select social science courses, holding office hours for
one-on-one or small group tutoring, proctoring and grading quizzes and exams,
and supporting faculty in providing quality educative experiences for
students. In addition to academic
support, GAFs frequently partner with various departments to enhance the
services provided to students and faculty as well as to develop skill-sets to
prepare them for their post-fellowship endeavors.
Previous GAFs have been admitted to graduate schools and
professional programs at distinguished institutions (NYU, Harvard, Rockefeller,
Yale, Columbia, and NYU Polytechnic). Others have been inspired by their GAF
work and have chosen to pursue careers in higher education administration, from
career development services to special events management, from student life
coordination to academic program management.
