CORNELL INFORMATION SCIENCE TENURE-TRACK FACULTY SEARCH, ITHACA CAMPUS
The Cornell
University Department of Information Science (IS) in the Ann S. Bowers College
of Computing and Information Science (Bowers CIS) has tenure-track and tenured
faculty positions available. The IS department spans Cornell’s Ithaca and New
York City campuses where nearly 40 faculty members are leaders in their
respective fields within Information Science's interdisciplinary structure.
We are interested
in applications from researchers in any of the broad research areas of the
department see https://infosci.cornell.edu/research)and
from researchers who can contribute to advancing the department's commitment to
diversity and inclusion. This year, we are especially interested in candidates
whose research uses qualitative, ethnographic, or interpretive methods from the
social sciences and humanities; computational and quantitative social science
approaches; or the study and design of interactions between human and AI
systems, including the ways that people make sense of these systems.
Faculty hired for
this Ithaca campus search will have their teaching and research based in
Ithaca. The IS faculty are located in Cornell’s Gates Hall and the department
has strong connections with several other units on campus, including Computer
Science (also in Gates Hall), Communication, Economics, Sociology, Science and
Technology Studies, Statistics and Data Science, Operations Research and
Information Engineering, Cognitive Science, and the Law School. These
connections support the IS department’s mission to advance its understanding of
how people and society interact with computing and information.
The department
strives to offer a high quality of life, providing a collegial and supportive
atmosphere on campus. Beyond campus, Ithaca is in the heart of the Finger Lakes
region, and both Cornell and Ithaca offer a vibrant cultural life and a wide
range of sporting and outdoor activities close at hand. Cornell 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 in dual career searches.
Candidates must
hold a Ph.D. or equivalent degree by August 2025. Candidates should submit a
cover letter, a curriculum vitae (CV), a research statement, a teaching
statement, and the names and email addresses for three references who will
submit letters on the candidate's behalf. The cover letter and research
statement should highlight up to three of the candidate’s most significant
pieces of work for consideration. We also ask applicants for all faculty
positions to share their experiences and/or approaches (past, current, or future)
to fostering learning, research, service, and/or outreach in a diverse
community. Applicants may choose to submit a stand-alone statement or embed the
