FACULTY POSITIONS

King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) invites applications for faculty. KAUST, located on the Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia, is an international graduate-level research university dedicated to advancing

science and technology through bold and collaborative research and to addressing challenges of regional and global significance, thereby serving the Kingdom, the region and the world.
Opened in September 2009, KAUST is an independent and merit-based university and welcomes exceptional faculty, researchers and students from around the world. The University is committed to cutting-edge research in

the globally significant areas of Energy, Water, and Food.

Requirements
High priority will be given to the overall originality and promise of the candidate’s work rather than the candidate’s sub-area of specialization. An earned Ph.D., evidence of the ability to pursue a program of research, and a

strong commitment to graduate teaching are required.

A successful candidate will be expected to teach courses at the graduate level and to build and lead a research group of postdoctoral fellows and graduate students. Faculty members enjoy secure research funding from the

University. There are also opportunities for additional funding through several KAUST provided sources and through industry collaborations

Recruitment Process
The review of applications will begin immediately; however, applications will be considered until all available positions have been filled. The appointment, promotion and retention of faculty and staff, and all the educational

and administrative activities of the University shall be conducted on the basis of equality, without regard to race, color, religion or gender.
