The Cornell University
Department of Computer Science (CS) in the Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of
Computing and Information Science (Bowers CIS) invites
applications from outstanding candidates with a passion for undergraduate

projects, mentoring Ph.D. students interested in teaching careers, and participating
in wider faculty governance and decision-making.
Fostering an inclusive
environment is a core value of the Computer Science Department and Cornell as a
whole. See https://diversity.cis.cornell.edu/ for some Bowers CIS activities in

historically underrepresented groups and students who have overcome personal
challenges.
