Overview

The UAEU established the National Faculty Recruitment and Development Office, which provides scholarships to exceptional national candidates who have a strong desire to pursue higher education and work in academia. The scholarships provide a generous monthly salary and fully cover education, travel and health insurance costs throughout their masters and PhD studies. Upon the completion of the PhD studies, the candidate will join the University as an assistant professor.

In order to enhance and support the university’s Teaching Assistant Program (TA), an agreement has been signed with the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research. This agreement aims to strengthen the cooperation between the two parties and establish a fruitful strategic partnership by developing joint frameworks and coordinating with relevant entities to advance cooperation in various fields, especially in the development of national talents both academically and professionally. The agreement also seeks to encourage the Emirati generation to pursue continuous education, leading to an educational leap and advanced academic curricula that align with the future governmental directions for preparing generations according to the state's strategic plans and vision. Furthermore, it enhances institutional collaboration to build a partnership between the two parties, achieving mutual strategic goals in lifelong learning and coordinating joint efforts to improve performance, streamline recruitment and scholarship procedures

We urge faculty members to identify top senior student, whom they believe would be a suitable candidate in terms of grades, caliber, moral standing, and stamina for higher education and to discuss the student's credentials with both the department chair and the TA Office so that we can invite him/her for an interview as soon as possible. 

The applicant should be a UAE national,  graduate of an accredited university, with a major and overall GPA of 3.5, and have IELTS with score 7 or TOFEL IBT 101.

National Faculty Support Program:

The National Faculty Support Program (NFSP) was developed to provide an additional opportunity for national faculty members to enhance their professional development within the United Arab Emirates University (UAEU). The program gives the national faculty members the opportunity to attend conferences, workshops and training courses held by recognized academic associations.
