The Department invites applications for an open rank tenure-track faculty position in U.S. labor and working-class history to begin August 2023.  We are interested in social and political historians whose scholarship engages questions of work, inequality, the economy, or political and working-class culture. We are particularly interested in scholars whose research focuses on the experiences of different ethnic and racial groups of workers. This may involve workers’ experiences in their jobs, organizations, and/or communities, or how their labor intersects with questions of citizenship, class, race/ethnicity, disability, and gender and sexuality, among other possible areas of inquiry. Candidates must demonstrate excellence in scholarly research and teaching. 

The ILR School is the world’s leading college focused on work, employment and labor issues.  Information about the ILR School is available at www.ilr.cornell.edu.  Our faculty includes leading scholars from a number of disciplinary backgrounds who study a broad range of issues related to labor, employment and organizations.  This job is based at Cornell University’s campus in Ithaca, NY.

Cornell University is committed to supporting the work-life balance of its faculty.
