Director, Cornell Center for the Social Sciences Cornell University The CCSS accelerates, enhances, and amplifies social science research at Cornell. The CCSS accomplishes these goals by uniting programmatic and infrastructure resources within the Office of the Vice Provost for Research (OVPR). Programmatic resources include faculty fellowship support and a broader set of grant incubation programs designed to foster systematic, evidence-based, and collaborative research studies addressing important disciplinary, interdisciplinary, and public policy concerns. Infrastructure resources support all aspects of social science research at Cornell, including finding and collecting data, computing infrastructure and support for storing and analyzing data, replication, and amplification of research findings. The CCSS either provides this research support directly or directs Cornell social scientists to the available services and support provided by other centers and units at Cornell. Applicants should submit a letter of interest describing their vision for the Center, their curriculum vitae (CV), and a diversity statement. Candidates are expected to have completed their Ph.D. prior to the start of this position, and to have already done substantial research in areas relevant to the Center. Applications should be submitted as soon as possible; there will be a periodic rolling review of all completed applications. Cornell University embraces diversity and seeks candidates who can contribute to a welcoming climate for students, staff and faculty of all races and genders. We strongly encourage women and underrepresented minorities to apply. Diversity and Inclusion are a part of Cornell University’s heritage.

We also recognize a lawful preference in employment practices for Native Americans living on or near Indian reservations. Cornell University is an innovative Ivy League university and a great place to work. Our inclusive community of scholars, students, and staff impart an uncommon sense of larger purpose, and contribute creative ideas to further the university's mission of teaching, discovery, and engagement. |
