Faculty will have access to unique datasets like the Human Phenotype Project to develop predictive models and targeted interventions to improve healthcare outcomes.

MBZUAI is a global leader in AI research and education, established in 2020, with over 80 faculty and 330 students, ranked among the top 10 AI universities worldwide. The university plans to expand significantly, fostering collaborations across academia, industry, and government to address real-world challenges.

Benefits include competitive salaries, research funding, comprehensive health and life insurance, relocation support, state-of-the-art facilities, and living in Abu Dhabi, a safe city with rich culture and amenities.
