New York University (NYU) is one of the top private universities in the United States, with an unparalleled network of global campuses and academic centers. NYU's Tandon School of Engineering, located in the heart of Brooklyn, dates back to 1854, the founding year of both the New York University School of Civil Engineering and Architecture and the Brooklyn Collegiate and Polytechnic Institute. Backed by an historic commitment of $1 billion and under the new leadership of Juan de Pablo as the University's Executive Vice President for Global Science and Technology and Tandon's Executive Dean, the Engineering School is entering an exciting new phase to recruit world-class faculty who conduct groundbreaking basic and applied research in key areas. We are home to a community of renowned faculty and undergraduate and graduate students united in a mission to understand and create technology that powers cities, enables worldwide communication, fights climate change, and builds healthier, safer, and more equitable real and digital worlds. The school's culture centers on encouraging rigorous, interdisciplinary collaboration and research; fostering inclusivity, entrepreneurial thinking, and diverse perspectives; and creating innovative and accessible pathways for lifelong learning in STEM.
