Bio

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.

Our nearly 40 faculty members are leaders in their respective fields within Information Science's interdisciplinary structure, specializing in areas like machine learning, artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, ubiquitous computing, user-experience design, tech-law policy, and much more.

IS is located in Cornell’s Gates Hall and a new building to be completed in 2025 and has strong connections with several other units on campus, including Computer Science, Communication, Economics, Sociology, Science and Technology Studies, Operations Research and Information Engineering, and Cognitive Science.

The department offers a competitive benefits package and salary. Lecturers play a full and active part in departmental life from curriculum design to voting rights and participation in wider faculty governance and decision-making.

Cornell University 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 with dual career searches.

We are seeking candidates who will contribute to a mix of undergraduate and masters courses in one or more of the wide range of topics covered by IS. Lecturers both develop new courses and teach existing courses. Current courses cover web programming and design; application development; human-computer interaction; information visualization; data science; network science; and information ethics, law, and policy.

Candidates with PhDs in Information Science, Computer Science, and related areas are encouraged to apply.
