Position Summary:
UAE Nationals are encouraged to apply

New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) seeks to appoint a Physical & Health
Education Administrative coordinator reporting to the Physical Education
Holistic Learning and Development Manager.

New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) is a central part of NYUAD's global
network, marked by a uniquely international student population (‎100+
nationalities); a rigorous, liberal arts and science academic program; and a
location at the crossroads of the Arab world. We are a highly diverse
community that shapes and examines issues of common humanity through
multicultural perspectives; recognizes that the breadth of an education here
extends far beyond the classroom and the campus; sees students themselves as
educators; and recognizes that true engagement with the breadth of our
diversity requires curiosity, humility, and engagement with contrasting views
and values.

NYUAD's Division of Student Affairs focuses on the out-of-classroom student
experience, cultivating belonging, catalyzing development, and fostering
engagement for a campus community of ‎1800+ students. The division brings
together multiple functional areas - including cultural engagement, spiritual
life, student engagement, community outreach, career development, athletics,
residential education, health, wellness and more - to provide students with
the structure, resources, and support to maximize their educational experience
and reach their full potential.

We look for inclusive leaders that nurture collaboration and pursue diversity
in people, thought and perspective. They model candor, transparency,
vulnerability, and good judgment. They are willing to receive feedback, accept
ambiguity, take risks, acknowledge mistakes, and engage in conflict
constructively. We want culture setters and strategic thinkers, who actively
seek to align processes and programs with our values and institutional
context. We seek those who are able to empower, inspire and motivate others to
do and to be their best. Cultural humility undergirds our work, so our leaders
need to be able to engage in the process of self-reflection and self-critique
to both learn about others and to examine their own beliefs and cultural
identities.
