<div dir="ltr"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><table width="95%" border="1" align="center"><tbody><tr><td><p>The Cornell University Department of Information Science (IS) in the
college of Computing and Information Science (CIS) has tenure track and
tenured faculty positions available at its Ithaca, NY campus. The IS
Department spans Cornell’s Ithaca and New York City campuses; faculty
hired in this year's search will have their teaching and research based
in Ithaca. </p><p>
This year’s search is primarily focused on hiring candidates who have a
computational/technical focus on research areas within information
science, including computational social science, network science,
visualization, and technical approaches to HCI. We are especially
interested in candidates whose scholarship and service further the
department’s goals around diversity and inclusion. Exceptional
candidates in other areas related to the department’s research (see
<a href="https://infosci.cornell.edu/research" target="_blank">https://infosci.cornell.edu/research</a>) may also be considered, though we
plan to prioritize candidates who connect to the focal areas above.</p><p>
Ithaca IS faculty are located in Cornell’s Gates Hall and the department
has strong connections with several other units on campus, including
Computer Science (also in Gates), Communication, Economics, Sociology,
Science and Technology Studies, Operations Research and Information
Engineering, and Cognitive Science. These connections support the IS
department’s mission to advance its understanding of how people and
society interact with computing and information.</p><p>
The department also strives to offer a high quality of life, providing a
collegial and supportive atmosphere on campus. Beyond campus, Ithaca is
in the heart of the Finger Lakes region, and both Cornell and Ithaca
offer a vibrant cultural life and a wide range of sporting and outdoor
activities close at hand. Cornell also seeks to meet the needs of dual
career couples, with both its own Dual Career program and membership in
the Upstate New York Higher Education Recruitment Consortium to assist
in dual career searches. </p><p>
Candidates must hold a Ph.D. or equivalent degree by August, 2021.
Assistant Professor candidates must demonstrate the potential to achieve
excellence in research and teaching at both the graduate and
undergraduate levels. More senior candidates must have an established
record of outstanding research and excellent teaching at both the
graduate and undergraduate levels; salary, rank, and tenure status will
be commensurate with qualifications and experience.</p><p>
Candidates should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae (CV), and
research and teaching statements. The letter, CV, or research statement
should identify a small set of their most significant pieces of work.
Candidates should also submit a statement of diversity, equity, and
inclusion, as diversity and inclusion are a key part of Cornell
University’s heritage, and we are a recognized employer and educator
valuing AA/EEO, protected veterans, and individuals with disabilities.
Fostering an inclusive environment is also a core value of IS and CIS.
In line with Cornell’s historical commitment to educating “…any
person…in any study…”, we seek candidates who will create a climate that
helps attract and is inclusive of all students, including students from
historically underrepresented groups and students who have overcome
personal challenges. The statement of contribution to diversity, equity
and inclusion is an opportunity for candidates to describe how their
research, teaching, and/or service will contribute to a diverse,
inclusive climate. See
<a href="https://facultydevelopment.cornell.edu/department-resources/recruitment/contribution-to-diversity/" target="_blank">https://facultydevelopment.cornell.edu/department-resources/recruitment/contribution-to-diversity/</a>
for more information, including suggestions for elements we look for in
such statements, as well as <a href="https://cis.cornell.edu/diversity" target="_blank">https://cis.cornell.edu/diversity</a> for
information about related CIS activities and resources.</p><p>
The above application materials should be submitted online at
<a href="https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/16872" target="_blank">https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/16872</a>, along with the names of
at least three people who will provide reference letters. To ensure full
consideration, complete applications (including reference letters)
should be received by December 1, 2020, but applications will be
accepted until the search has concluded. Inquiries about your
application may be directed to <a href="mailto:fac_recruit@infosci.cornell.edu" target="_blank">fac_recruit@infosci.cornell.edu</a>.<br><br>Diversity
and Inclusion are a part of Cornell University’s heritage. We are a
recognized employer and educator valuing AA/EEO, Protected Veterans and
Individuals with Disabilities. We also recognize a lawful preference in
employment practices for Native Americans living on or near Indian
reservations. Cornell University is an innovative Ivy League university
and a great place to work. Our inclusive community of scholars,
students, and staff impart an uncommon sense of larger purpose, and
contribute creative ideas to further the university's mission of
teaching, discovery, and engagement.</p></td></tr>
