Assistant Professor, tenure track
Science-Based Solutions to Grand Challenges in Equity and Inclusion
Department of Communication, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, USA
Position Description and Responsibilities
We invite applications for a 9-month, full-time, tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant Professor level. The position involves 50% research and 50% teaching responsibilities. Cornell’s Department of Communication seeks a colleague whose work explicitly addresses ongoing systemic challenges facing historically marginalized and disadvantaged communities, and centers equity, inclusion, and evidence-based approaches, in order to complement the disciplinary and cross-disciplinary strengths of the Department of Communication and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS). This hire will join a CALS cohort who use basic and applied science to solve challenges and build sustainable relationships that engage historically marginalized and economically disadvantaged communities in the research process. Members of the cohort benefit from proactive mentoring that engages a network of senior faculty, academic and non-academic peers, and internal and external advocates during pre- and post-tenure career development. Mentoring partnerships are bidirectional, empowering the cohort and its members, and providing space for innovative collaborations to emerge from shared interests, goals, and opportunities.
The successful applicant will conduct research that advances the department’s excellence in communication research and helps to solve challenges and build sustainable relationships that engage historically marginalized and economically disadvantaged communities in the research process. To continue Cornell University's legacy of engaged scholarship, the ideal candidate will have a track record of and sustained commitment to building relationships with the communities with whom they partner. Strong consideration will be given to communication scholars with demonstrated research and teaching in areas such as (but not exclusive to): disparities in access/use/representation in media and communication technologies; climate and environmental justice; social and socio-economic system resilience under climate change, globalization, and/or technological change; health equity; food security, food access, and food technology; agricultural, natural resource, land, and water (dis)possession and management; participatory research; improving urban landscapes and ecosystems; urban agriculture; empowerment of Black, Indigenous, Hispanic, and other communities of color; access, equity, and inclusion in the realm of artificial intelligence, big data, computational biology and/or the basic life sciences.
