An Associate Research Scientist typically holds a PhD or equivalent terminal degree with at least 3 years of relevant experience in their field (not including the years obtaining the PhD or equivalent terminal degree). The successful candidate will join a multidisciplinary team of marine ecologists, microbiologists, oceanographers, climate scientists, and conservation practitioners working to advance scientific understanding of coral reef resilience and support evidence-based conservation and restoration efforts across the region. Terms of employment include a highly competitive salary and benefits package.

The position will also involve conducting fieldwork throughout the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman, coordinating with governmental and external partners, mentoring undergraduate students, research assistants, and junior staff, and contributing to the broader scientific mission and visibility of ACCESS and NYU Abu Dhabi.

The ideal candidate will have a strong publication record, experience designing and leading independent research projects, and the ability to work effectively within multidisciplinary research teams. Experience working in coral reef ecosystems, particularly in extreme reef environments such as the Arabian Gulf, is highly desirable. Additional experience in multi-omics approaches, laboratory management, student mentorship, and collaborations with governmental or conservation organizations will be considered an advantage.

Applications will be accepted immediately. To be considered, all applicants must submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, transcript of degree/ copy of highest degree, research statement, and at least 2 contact references, all in PDF format.
