Band: 54 – Director

New York University is becoming a Global Network University. We have created a structure that allows students and faculty to gather in key locales around the globe to forge new ideas, advance the questions we ask about the world, and create solutions for the problems that beset us all. Beyond NYU’s portal campuses in New York City, Abu Dhabi and, soon, Shanghai, lies a whole world of NYU global opportunity, including sites in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America.New York University’s Global Technology Services division is dedicated to the strategic planning, implementation, and support of technologies across all of NYU’s campuses. The new learning innovation group will help faculty, academic departments, schools, and sites develop curricula informed by all of the technology now available as well as by our global resources (visit: nyu.edu/gts).

We are now building a new team and recruiting +/-20 instructional technologists, programmers, sys admins, videographer, and graphics professionals as well as individuals who specialize in statistics and language learning. Please pass this on to anyone you know who may be interested. Follow this link (the division is “Global Technology Services”):
