TRIBAL COLLEGE JOURNAL, Ithaca, New York, United States,


2024-2025 CORNELL INFORMATION SCIENCE FULL-TIME TEACHING FACULTY SEARCH (LECTURER OR SENIOR LECTURER TITLE), ITHACA CAMPUS

The Cornell University Department of Information Science (IS) in the Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science (Bowers CIS) invites applications for full-time, long-term Lecturer or Senior Lecturer positions at Cornell’s Ithaca campus.

Teaching faculty hired in these positions will be full-time members of the IS Department; a typical full-time (100%) load for a Lecturer in IS is two courses per semester. Based on candidate qualifications and experience, the initial appointment will be either a three-year (Lecturer) or five-year (Senior Lecturer) appointment. This is a non-tenure track position, but it is a professional teaching career track with the potential for growth, the expectation of renewal, and eventual promotion for Lecturers. 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.

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.

Candidates must hold a PhD or equivalent degree by August 2025 and have demonstrated commitment to teaching excellence. Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vita (CV), and a teaching statement that speaks to their experience and evidence of teaching ability, skills, and strengths. We ask applicants for all faculty positions to share their experiences and/or approaches (past, current, or future) to fostering learning, research service, and/or outreach in a diverse community.

Fostering an inclusive environment is a core value of the Information Science Department and Cornell as a whole. We seek candidates who will create a climate that is inclusive of all students, including students from historically underrepresented groups, and students who have overcome personal challenges.

There is a salary range of $49,700-$164,000 for positions like this one at Cornell; this range reflects an aggregate of qualifications and disciplines across Cornell University. Actual salary offers will be based on education, experience, discipline, and relevant skills.

The above application materials should be submitted online at

https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/28402

along with the names of at least three people who will provide reference letters that speak to the candidate’s teaching skills. Applications will be reviewed as they are received. To ensure full consideration, applications must be received by November 1, 2024, but applications will be accepted until the search is closed.
