  New York University: NYU - Global: Abu Dhabi: AD_Research Centers Location Abu Dhabi Open Date Jun 26, 2025 Description New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) seeks to recruit a Research Assistant to join the Social Science Experimental Laboratory (SSEL). SSEL is an interdisciplinary center that conducts experimental research in social sciences. The lab currently has a large participant pool from the NYUAD community, students from other local universities, and participants from the general public. The basic research tool used at SSEL is laboratory experimentation, in which participants engage in decision-making tasks in order to test different aspects of human behavior as well as interactions between humans and machines.  Experiments are conducted at SSEL’s state-of-the-art facilities on campus, online, via surveys, and third-party contractors. The ideal candidate is someone who is deeply...

  New York University: NYU - Global: Abu Dhabi: AD_Science: AD_Biology Location Abu Dhabi, UAE Open Date Apr 08, 2025 Description The RNA Modifications, Intellect, and NeuroDegeneration (RNA-MIND) Laboratory under the Biology Program, Division of Science, of New York University Abu Dhabi seeks to recruit a research associate/postdoctoral associate to work on projects focused on understanding RNA modification signaling pathways in the nervous system and their function in synaptic, neuronal and behavioral plasticity. The central goal of the laboratory is to study the neural mechanisms involving dynamic RNA modifications during cognitive development and decline. To achieve this, research projects rely on the use of a combination of techniques such as rodent behavioral analysis, biochemical, molecular and cell biology, in vivo and in vitro fluorescence imaging, and next-generation sequencing. Position duties...

  New York University: NYU - Global: Abu Dhabi: AD_Engineering Location Abu Dhabi, UAE Open Date May 26, 2025 Description The Quantitative Synthetic Biology group ( https://netb.io/ ) at New York University Abu Dhabi seeks highly motivated and collaborative applicants to fill a Research Associate position in synthetic biology. Projects will target various sources of context-dependence in synthetic biology, such as metabolic burden due to the competition of shared DNA replication and transcriptional/translational resources. As a representative example, a project may focus on how the behavior of common modules (e.g., toggle switch) is impacted by perturbations in the expression profiles of other genes, redistributing the common pool of scarce resources. Interested applicants are expected to lead the experimental efforts, though they are also welcome to get involved with modeling aspects of these projects....

  New York University: NYU - Global: Abu Dhabi: AD_Research Centers: Center on Stability, Instability and Turbulence (SITE) Location Abu Dhabi, UAE Open Date Jul 12, 2024 Description   The Research Center on Stability, Instability and Turbulence (SITE) a center of the Research Institute, New York University Abu Dhabi, seeks to recruit a Post-Doctoral Associate to work in the fluid mechanics laboratory for experimental fluid dynamics.  SITE is inviting applications for fully-funded postdoctoral research associate positions. SITE is highly interdisciplinary and aims to develop novel enabling technology on hydrodynamic stability analysis that has applications in the study of the development of singularities, the long-time behavior of complex systems, the formation of spatial patterns, the transition between stability and instability, and the first steps of transition towards turbulence that appear...
