Dr. P.J. Henry at New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) is inviting applications for a two-year Post-Doctoral Associate position in the area of social and political psychology to start September 2025 (starting date negotiable). The postdoctoral associate will work on quantitative and survey-based research projects focusing on areas related to gender roles, masculinity / femininity, gender identity, and gender-based discrimination, prejudice, and inequality. This position is within the psychology program at NYUAD, but Dr. Henry encourages applicants from across the social sciences.
Experience with survey methodology and use of Qualtrics or other survey administration tools is a requirement. Strong quantitative skills are also necessary, including expertise or experience with sophisticated statistical analyses such as multilevel modeling, cross-lagged panel modeling / longitudinal analyses, and/or structural equation modeling. Experience working with interdisciplinary research (e.g., sociology, gender studies, political science, human development, economics) is a plus. In addition to the core project responsibilities, the post-doctoral associate will have a small portion of their time allocated to laboratory management duties.
This position is located in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, where the selected candidate will join a thriving research community in the Psychology program at New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD). The social psychology faculty have strong connections to the NYU campus in New York. Funding is guaranteed for up to two years with opportunity for renewal following a successful performance evaluation. The terms of employment are highly competitive and include housing and travel subsidies, a moving allowance, and educational subsidies for those with children.
Candidates must hold (or be close to completing) a Ph.D. in social psychology or a related quantitative social science (e.g., political science, gender studies, sociology, human development).
Applicants should submit
(1) a statement that describes their research interests (approx. 2-4 pages) and how it connects to Dr. Henry’s research lines,
(2) a cover letter,
(3) a CV, and
(4) three references who will be contacted for letters should the candidate advance in the selection process.
To receive full consideration, complete applications must be received by April 30, 2025. Interviews will be conducted via Zoom.
If you have any questions, please email P.J. Henry (pj.henry@nyu.edu) directly.
