Compliance Program click here. The Cornell University Department of Information Science
(IS) in the college of Computing and Information Science (CIS) invites
applications for full-time, long-term Lecturer or Senior Lecturer positions at
Cornell’s Ithaca campus. Cornell University is located in Ithaca, New York,
with a county population of about 100,000 people in the heart of the Finger
Lakes region. Both 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. IS is located in Cornell’s Gates Hall and has strong
connections with several other units on campus, including Computer Science,
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 our understanding of how people
and society interact with computing and information. Teaching faculty hired in these positions will be full-time
members of the IS Department; a typical full-time (100%) load for a Lecturer in
IS is two courses per semester. Based on candidate qualifications and
experience, the initial appointment will be either a three year (Lecturer) or
five year (Senior Lecturer) appointment. This is a non-tenure track position,
but it is a professional teaching career track with the potential for growth,
the expectation of renewal, and eventual promotion for Lecturers. The
department offers a competitive salary and benefits package, with lecturers
playing a full and active part in departmental life from curriculum design and innovation
to participation in wider faculty governance and decision-making. 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 searches. We are seeking candidates who will contribute to a mix of
larger lower- and smaller upper-level undergraduate and masters courses in one
or more of the wide range of topics covered by IS. These include information
ethics, law, and policy; the sociology of organizations and innovation; the
history and anthropology of computing and data; technology and equity; the
interface of economics and information; digital humanities; computational
social science; network science; data science, artificial intelligence, and
their implications; information visualization; human-computer interaction (HCI)
and user experience; ubiquitous computing and interactive systems; human-agent
and human-robot interaction (HRI); computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW)
and computer-mediated communication (CMC); social computing; and the
intersection of behavioral science and computing. More information about the
breadth of courses in the department is available at https://infosci.cornell.edu/courses/list-info-sci-courses;
candidates are also encouraged to look at the curricula for the Ithaca campus
undergraduate (https://infosci.cornell.edu/undergraduate)
and Masters of Professional Studies (https://infosci.cornell.edu/masters/mps)
degrees. Candidates must hold a PhD or equivalent degree by August
2020 and have demonstrated commitment to teaching excellence and innovation. They
should submit a cover letter, curriculum vita (CV), and a teaching statement
that speaks to experience and evidence of past teaching ability, skills and
strengths, and aspects of the department’s courses and curricula they see as
especially attractive. 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,
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 https://facultydevelopment.cornell.edu/department-resources/recruitment/contribution-to-diversity/ for more on the university’s commitment to diversity,
inclusion, and equity, including suggestions for what we are looking for in
such statements, as well as https://cis.cornell.edu/diversity for information about related CIS activities and resources. The above application materials should be submitted online
at https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/14618,
along with the names of at least three people who will provide reference
letters that speak to the candidate’s teaching skills. To ensure full
consideration, applications should be received by October 15, 2019, but
applications will be accepted until positions are filled. Inquiries about your
application may be directed to fac_recruit@infosci.cornell.edu. 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. |
