Description
The Center for Behavioral Institutional Design (C‑BID), New York University Abu Dhabi, seeks to recruit several postdoctoral researchers interested in exploring the origins of human behavioral diversity, developing empirically‑informed models of human behavior, and designing innovative institutions and policies for promoting social welfare.
C‑BID offers a vibrant and stimulating research environment, with opportunities to engage in high‑impact projects and collaborations. Postdoctoral researchers join an active international community of scholars and fellow postdocs and benefit from a world‑class seminar series. The Center hosts numerous workshops, conferences, and other academic events that foster collaboration, idea exchange, and visibility, providing an exceptional platform for advancing researchers' work and academic careers.
The ideal candidate is highly ambitious, well‑trained, self‑motivated, hard‑working, capable of working both independently and as part of a team, and holds a PhD in economics or a related field. The position requires expertise in experimental, empirical, or theoretical methods, or ideally a combination of these methods. Excellent communication skills in English, multidisciplinary teamwork ability, and scientific creativity are essential.
Successful applicants are expected to publish research in leading peer‑reviewed journals in social science or leading interdisciplinary journals, and work both individually and in close collaboration with the C‑BID team: Olivier Bochet, Nikos Nikiforakis, and John Wooders.
Compensation & Benefits The position provides a salary higher than internationally competitive rates for postdoctoral research positions, in addition to substantial benefits—generous housing, transportation and travel allowances, educational subsidies for children—together with full health insurance and retirement contributions. The UAE does not levy income tax.
Appointment Terms Appointments will be for two years, renewable for at least one additional year conditional on a satisfactory evaluation of performance.
