salary, rank, and tenure status will be commensurate with qualifications and
experience. Cornell University 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 with dual career

pieces of work. Candidates should also submit a statement of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Diversity and inclusion are a part of Cornell University’s
heritage; we are a recognized employer and educator valuing AA/EEO, protected veterans,

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 https://facultydevelopment.cornell.edu/department-resources/recruitment/contribution-to-diversity/ for more on the university’s commitment to diversity,
