About this position

New York University Abu Dhabi invites applications for a Postdoctoral Associate in Behavioral and Experimental Social Science within its Division of Social Science. The appointment combines independent research with collaborative work alongside Professors Berkay Özcan and Ernesto Reuben.

Collaborative projects draw on behavioral and experimental economics and related areas of social science. Potential research topics include individual and group decision-making, social norms and cooperation, inequality and discrimination, labor-market and organizational outcomes, and the behavioral implications of emerging technologies. Projects may use laboratory, online, survey, or field studies, including studies connected to administrative or digital data.

The postdoctoral associate will contribute to research-question development, experimental and survey design, protocols and preregistrations, survey instruments, behavioral tasks, pilot coordination, data collection, reproducible data workflows, causal analysis, manuscripts, and presentations. The role offers intellectual ownership of substantial project components, coauthorship opportunities, and scope to develop an independent research agenda.

The researcher will join an interdisciplinary social science community comprising more than 20 postdoctoral associates and 70 faculty members. The environment includes seminars, workshops, research centers, visiting-speaker activities, regular research meetings, and mentoring. Teaching is not required, although compensated teaching opportunities may be available.
