Job Description

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 applicants who can contribute to advancing the department's commitment to diversity and inclusion, including those who work on research topics related to underserved communities. This year we will focus on hiring candidates whose research engages with ethical, legal, or policy issues in computing, including technical approaches to these focus areas.Faculty hired for this NYC campus search will have their teaching and research based at Cornell Tech in New York City. Cornell Tech is a graduate campus of Cornell University located on Roosevelt Island in New York City. It includes the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute, a joint academic venture between Cornell and the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. Cornell Tech's academic environment couples fundamental research with practice, supports societal and commercial ventures alongside research and education, and encourages tight integration across disciplines in technology, business, law, and design. In addition to world-class academic work, a distinguishing characteristic of our research is that it engages deeply with external communities, organizations, and industry to address real-world problems and contexts that amplify the direct societal and commercial impact of our research. This approach is exemplified by three hubs in Health Tech, Urban Tech, and Public Interest Tech, which bring together researchers, practitioners, and communities. These connections support the IS department’s mission to advance our understanding of how people and society interact with computing and information.
