*** this program has been closed and new applications are no longer accepted. ***

Thanks to the remarkable recognition it has earned from both novel industry collaborations and honors from professional societies, the Cornell Systems Program is undergoing a period of significant growth. As a result, the Systems Engineering program is seeking applicants for a new faculty position to expand our efforts in areas that include, but are not limited to:

Systems analytics and quantitative methods (e.g., mathematical modeling, computational simulation, risk analysis and management, statistics and probability, data science, etc.)
Computational model-based systems engineering and optimization
Software systems
Cyber-physical systems
Systems of systems
Enterprise systems
Energy systems
Human-systems interaction modeling and analysis

This new position is an open-rank, long-term and renewable full-time, on-campus, non-tenure-track position that focuses primarily on teaching a moderate number of courses, with involvement in running Masters of Engineering projects as well as in research to be able to keep up with the development of the rapidly evolving discipline of Systems Engineering. Titles awarded are based on applicant experience and can range from Lecturer to Senior Lecturer or Professor of the Practice. Additionally, we also welcome applicants interested in part-time teaching-focused positions that could last from 1 week up to 1-2 courses per year while potentially working remotely. Applicants should indicate the range of engagement opportunities they are interested in within their cover letter.

The Systems Engineering Program builds upon the broad expertise of Cornell faculty. We offer unique transdisciplinary master’s and doctoral education to prepare systems engineering leaders engaged in complex engineering, socio-technical, and policy challenges. The program attracts students from a variety of disciplines, companies, and countries. You will be part of a growing program and be able to make a direct contribution to developing it further.

Unlike traditional programs, the Systems Engineering Program does not have any tenured or tenure-track appointments. Full-time faculty hired for this position will be appointed and are eligible for reappointment as Research-Teaching-Extension (RTE) faculty members.

The faculty hired into this position will be central to the development of the program and will be fully involved in all strategic decisions and operational needs of the program. As a full member of the Systems core faculty, individuals selected for this position at the Lecturer, Senior Lecturer, and Professor of the Practice level are expected to contribute to our educational mission by teaching, including a small number of existing well-developed analytically based graduate-level courses, maintaining course content currency and relevance by keeping pace and sometimes contributing with research developments in Systems and advising graduate-level systems projects.
