The Cornell University Department of Computer Science (CS) in the Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science (Bowers) invites applications from outstanding candidates with a passion for undergraduate teaching for a position of Assistant, Associate, or Full Teaching Professor at Cornell’s Ithaca campus.  Teaching Professors are non-tenure track teaching faculty members who are hired on multi-year appointments with the expectation of renewal and promotion. 

Candidates for the position should hold a PhD in a computing-related field and have demonstrated commitment to teaching excellence and innovation.  We are seeking candidates who can teach large lower- and upper-level undergraduate and master’s level courses in AI-related fields.  Any experience with online or distance learning modes of instruction is valued.

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.
