CORNELL MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING FULL-TIME TEACHING FACULTY SEARCH (LECTURER OR SENIOR LECTURER TITLE), ITHACA CAMPUS The
Cornell University Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) in the
College of Engineering invites applications for a full-time, long-term Lecturer
or Senior Lecturer position at Cornell’s Ithaca campus starting in the summer of 2022. Cornell
University is located in Ithaca, New York, with a county population of about
100,000 in the heart of the Finger Lakes region. Cornell and Ithaca offer a
wide range of cultural activities, sports, and outdoor activities with the
pleasures of both city and country close at hand. Depending
on candidate qualifications and experience, the initial appointment will be
either a three year (Lecturer) or five year (Senior Lecturer) appointment. This
non-tenure track position is a professional teaching career track with the
potential for growth, the expectation of reappointment, and eventual promotion
for Lecturers. The department offers a competitive salary and benefits package,
with lecturers playing an active role in departmental teaching, service, and
governance. Cornell University also
seeks to meet the needs of dual career couples, with its Dual Career program along
with membership in the Upstate New York Higher Education Recruitment Consortium
that assists with dual career searches. The rigorous curriculum of the highly-ranked
Cornell MSE undergraduate program ranges from the fundamental chemistry and
physics of materials to the detailed properties and applications of all classes
of advanced materials. Self-standing laboratory courses and laboratory modules
integrated with lecture courses are essential elements of this curriculum. We are seeking candidates who can teach
existing laboratory courses, in particular Junior
Laboratory I and II,
as well as develop new laboratory courses and modules associated with courses from
the freshman to the senior undergraduate level. The strategic plan of the MSE
department outlines the addition of new instructional resources in the areas of
materials characterization, processing and manufacturing. An ideal candidate will exhibit the educational
innovation and initiative needed to design laboratory experiences that fully
utilize departmental as well as campus-wide resources and enable undergraduates
to acquire the skills and knowledge relevant to careers in advanced materials. The first three years of the appointment will
include laboratory teaching and curriculum development during the fall and
spring semesters in the academic year as well curriculum
development and support of laboratory and apparatus improvements in the
winter breaks and summer semesters. Once these laboratory
experiences are established and incorporated successfully into the curriculum,
there is potential for this position to include collaborative lecturing
responsibilities with other MSE faculty in elective lecture courses that MSE plans
to add to its curriculum, such as courses concerned with metallurgy,
manufacturing, and materials for medicine. MSE also encourages scholarship in the areas
of laboratory instructional pedagogy and research-based teaching strategies,
particularly as such scholarship contributes to the program. Disseminating
engineering education results via conference presentations and publications is
desirable, and funds are available to support the presentation and/or
publication of pedagogy research. By August 2022 candidates should have been granted a PhD or equivalent degree in materials science and engineering or in a related field such as chemistry, physics, or an engineering discipline involving mechanical, electrical, chemical, or biological materials. Candidates must demonstrate a commitment to teaching excellence, familiarity with the pedagogy of laboratory instruction, and facility with designing and operating scientific apparatus. Applicants should submit a cover letter; a curriculum vitae (CV); a statement addressing their experience and skills in teaching, including instruction in a laboratory environment; and a statement describing their approach to supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion (described below). Included in the application should be the names of at least three people who can, upon the request of the MSE department, provide reference letters that speak to the candidate’s teaching and laboratory abilities. Candidates may optionally include copies of publications, recent teaching evaluations and/or syllabi, and any other relevant materials. The MSE Department and the College of Engineering at Cornell embrace diversity and seek candidates who will create a climate that attracts and is inclusive of students of all races, nationalities and genders. People from historically underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply. We are a recognized employer and educator valuing AA/EEO, Protected Veterans and Individuals with Disabilities. The required diversity statement should describe the candidate’s potential contributions to diversity and inclusion and should parallel the statement expected of applicants to tenure-track positions detailed in the University’s Contribution to Diversity statement.
