The
19 Washington Square North (WSN) Faculty Fellows program is pleased to announce the call for AY 2026-27 Fellowships, made possible by the generous support of the NYU Office of the Provost and the NYU Abu Dhabi Institute. The Fellows program aims to foster and strengthen connections between NYU faculty in Abu Dhabi and New York as well as to enhance academic activity at 19 Washington Square North, the home of NYUAD in New York.
Accordingly, applications will be welcomed in Fall 2025 from teams that pair one full‑time NYU faculty member in New York with one full‑time member of the NYU Abu Dhabi standing faculty. Applicants are asked to propose a plan of joint research or artistic creation for AY 2026‑27 that results in an original scholarly, creative, or artistic product or event presented at 19 WSN either during the fellowship period or the following summer.
Examples might include a symposium, panel, exhibit, film, or performance; previous and current Fellows' proposals are shownhere.
Successful teams will be granted a USD 30,000 project budget as well as office space at 19 WSN. Office space at 19 WSN can be provided as needed, and the NY‑based fellows will be expected to actively participate in the scholarly life of 19 WSN.
In addition to organizing an event to be held at 19 WSN, Faculty Fellows will be expected to contribute to scholarly life there to the extent possible. New York‑based Fellows, as well as Abu Dhabi‑based Fellows when visiting New York, will be expected to work from their 19 WSN office whenever possible, attend events of interest (such as programs organized there by the NYU Abu Dhabi Institute), and participate in occasional gatherings to discuss their work in progress.
Video conference calls each semester will give all the Fellows the opportunity to discuss project developments and thus learn from, support, and brainstorm with their peers in diverse disciplines. Finally, Fellows will submit a brief narrative report of their fellowship activities at the end of the term.

Qualifications
Eligible applicant teams must include one member of each of the following:
- Full‑time faculty at any of NYU’s schools or colleges in New York (for example, Arts and Science, Tandon School of Engineering, Stern School of Business, Institute of Fine Arts, etc.) at the time of application.
- Full‑time standing faculty at NYU Abu Dhabi in any division or program at the time of application. Please note this does not include NYUAD affiliated or visiting faculty.
Application Instructions
Only one member of the applicant pair should initiate the submission and upload the requested materials, to avoid confusion or duplicate submissions; this may be either the Abu Dhabi‑ or the New York‑based applicant. There will be an opportunity to provide the names and relevant information for both team members.
The fellowship applications will be judged on the anticipated impact of the research topic, the strength of the research plan, the synergy between the collaborators, and the potential for the fellowship to stimulate a longer term research collaboration. Priority will be given to new collaborations (rather than long‑standing ones). We also encourage topics that have relevance to the UAE and the Gulf region (although this is not a requirement).
Finally, engagement with the space at 19 Washington Square North and its activities will be considered in the evaluation.
The application requires the following components:
- Title:
- Name of NYUAD applicant, rank/position and division/program
- Name of NYU NY applicant, rank/position and school/program or…
