Apply online: https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/25840
We invite applications from exceptional candidates in all core-ECE areas, but we have a particular interest in the areas of communication networks and cyber-physical systems research that relate to urban infrastructure, energy, transportation, information security, automation and healthcare.
Applicants must hold a doctorate in an appropriate field by the start date of their faculty appointment. In keeping with the mission of Cornell Tech, applicants must also have a strong interest in activities that reach beyond academia for external engagement and impact, in areas that may include technology commercialization and entrepreneurship, or activities with non-profit organizations, government and policy issues, international programs, or pre-college (K-12) education. Applicants for senior positions should have a demonstrated track record of such external engagement.
We will begin reviewing and interviewing candidates immediately and continue until positions are filled. Applications received by December 15, 2023 will be given full consideration. Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae (CV), brief statements describing research, teaching, and external engagement, and arrange to have at least three reference letters submitted. In the cover letter, CV, or research statement, applicants should identify a small set of their most significant pieces of work. A distinguishing characteristic of research at Cornell Tech, in addition to world-class academic work, is that it engages deeply with external communities, organizations, K-12 education, and industry to address real-world problems and contexts that amplify the direct commercial and societal impact of our research. Accordingly, within a clearly identified subsection of the Research Statement, the candidate should address prior accomplishments and future plans related to this kind of direct commercial and/or societal impact of their research. 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. Applicants may choose to submit a stand-alone statement or embed the information in other parts of their application materials.
Faculty hired in these positions at Cornell Tech will be members of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), which spans the Ithaca and New York City campuses. Their teaching and research will be based in New York City. This search also includes Cornell faculty positions that are part of the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute at Cornell Tech, a joint academic venture between Cornell and the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. A separate application is needed to be considered for an Electrical and Computer Engineering position at the Ithaca campus; please visit the website https://www.ece.cornell.edu/position-openings-ece for further information about the Ithaca application process.
- Cornell Tech is a graduate campus of Cornell University located on Roosevelt Island in New York City. Cornell Tech's academic environment encourages tight integration across disciplines in technology, business, law, and design, couples fundamental research with practice, and supports societal and commercial ventures alongside research and education. 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. Hubs in Health Tech, Urban Tech, and Public Interest Tech exemplify this approach, bringing together researchers, practitioners and communities to collaborate.
