The Cornell University Division
of Nutritional Sciences (DNS) in the College of Human Ecology and the College
of Agriculture and Life Sciences has multiple faculty positions available on the
Ithaca campus (tenured and tenure-track).
DNS is among the largest and top-ranking nutritional science
departments in the world.
Applications from all areas of nutritional science and related fields are
welcome.
Strong consideration will be given to scholars with demonstrated research and
teaching or extension excellence in areas such as (but not exclusive to):
precision nutrition; nutritional immunology; cancer biology; health equity; global
health; maternal and child nutrition, food and nutrition security; artificial
intelligence, big data, computational biology as applied to molecular or
human nutrition; and/or the basic life sciences.
Faculty hired in these positions
will be members of the Division of Nutritional Sciences, which spans the
Ithaca and New York City campuses. The position(s) may be supported in part
by Cornell University’s FIRST program (Cornell FIRST), a grant from the NIH’s
Common Fund’s Faculty Institutional Recruitment for Sustainable
Transformation (FIRST) Program, to recruit early-career faculty who have a
demonstrated commitment to inclusive excellence. Depending on interests,
candidates have an opportunity to benefit from strong collaborative ties to
Weill Cornell Medicine and Cornell Tech in New York City, and from
opportunities for research and development that are provided by an extensive
network of centers and institutes including the Center for Precision
Nutrition for Health, Biological High Performance Computing facility, Radical
Collaboration in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Englander Institute for
Precision Medicine, Center for Health Equity,
Action Research Collaborative, Center for Vertebrate Genomics, Genomics Innovation Hub,
Genome Biology Initiative, Cornell Center for Immunology, Kavli Institute at
Cornell for Nanoscale Science, and the Kevin M. McGovern Family Center for
Venture Development in the Life Sciences, among others.
Tenured and tenure-track faculty must hold the equivalent of a Ph.D.
Applicants must have demonstrated an ability to conduct outstanding research.
Successful candidates are expected to pursue an active, externally funded
research program, to teach graduate and undergraduate courses, and to
supervise graduate students.
To ensure full consideration, applications should be received by December 15,
2022, but applications will be accepted until all positions are filled.
Fostering an inclusive environment is a core value of the Division of
Nutritional Sciences and Cornell as a whole. In line with Cornell’s
historical commitment to educating “… any person … in any study…”, we seek candidates who will foster
a climate that helps attract and is inclusive of all students, including
students from historically underrepresented groups and students who have
overcome personal challenges. We strongly encourage women and
underrepresented minorities to apply.
Applicants are requested to apply here and submit: a cover letter; a curriculum
vitae including a list of publications and preprints; one or two top
publications to which they have made significant contributions; research and
teaching vision statements; and contact information for at least three
reference letter writers. Applicants are asked to submit a Statement of Contribution to
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to describe their potential contributions to
diversity and inclusion. See http://facultydevelopment.cornell.edu/information-for-faculty-candidates/ for the university’s
commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, including suggestions for
what we are looking for in such statements.
