2022-2023 CORNELL INFORMATION SCIENCE TENURE-TRACK FACULTY SEARCH, ITHACA CAMPUS

Cornell University embraces diversity and seeks candidates who will contribute to a climate that supports students, faculty and staff of all identities and backgrounds. We strongly encourage individuals from underrepresented and/or marginalized identities to apply.

2022-2023 CORNELL INFORMATION SCIENCE TENURE-TRACK FACULTY SEARCH, ITHACA CAMPUS

The Cornell University Department of Information Science (IS) in the Ann S. Bowers College of Computing
and Information Science (CIS) has tenure track and tenured faculty positions available. The IS
Department spans Cornells Ithaca and New York City campuses where nearly 40 faculty members are
leaders in their respective fields within Information Sciences interdisciplinary structure.

While we are interested in applications from researchers in any of the broad research areas of the
department (see https://infosci.cornell.edu/research), this year we will focus on hiring candidates
whose research engages with ethical, legal, or policy issues in the context of computing systems,
including those involving artificial intelligence, robotics or underserved communities. Additionally,
we seek to hire candidates in any area who can contribute to advancing the departments
commitment to diversity and inclusion.

Faculty hired for this Ithaca campus search will have their teaching and research-based in Ithaca. The IS
faculty are located in Cornells Gates Hall and the department has strong connections with several other
units on campus, including Computer Science (also in Gates Hall), Communication, Economics, Sociology,
Science and Technology Studies, Operations Research and Information Engineering, Cognitive Science,
and the Law School. These connections support the IS departments mission to advance its
understanding of how people and society interact with computing and information.

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.

Candidates must hold a Ph.D. or equivalent degree by August 2023. Candidates should submit a cover
letter, a curriculum vitae (CV), a research statement, a teaching statement and a diversity, equity and
inclusion statement. The cover letter and research statement should highlight up to three of their most
significant pieces of work for consideration.

The candidates statement of diversity, equity, and inclusion is an opportunity for candidates to describe
how their research, teaching, and/or service contribute to a diverse, inclusive climate. In addition, the
candidate is also welcome to incorporate these descriptions directly into their research and teaching
statements. Diversity and inclusion are a part of Cornell Universitys 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. Fostering an inclusive environment is also a core value of the Ann S. Bowers College of
Computing and Information Science. In line with Cornells historical commitment to be “an institution
where any person can find instruction in any study,” we seek candidates who will create a climate that
attracts and is inclusive of all students, including students from historically underrepresented groups and
students who have overcome personal challenges. See
