Post-grad Fellowship Opportunity | NYU Global Academic Fellows (GAFs)

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.
