Cornell University embraces diversity and seeks candidates who will contribute to a climate that supports students, faculty and staff of all identities and backgrounds. We strongly encourage individuals from underrepresented and/or marginalized identities to apply.
As part of the university's comprehensive vaccination program, all Cornell employees are required to have and provide proof of an FDA-or WHO-authorized or approved COVID-19 primary vaccination or have obtained a university-approved disability/medical or religious exemption, regardless of their role and work location.
New hires are required to provide documentation showing primary vaccination status (that is, completion of two shots of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine or one shot of the Janssen/Johnson & Johnson) before their first day of work. If a new hire's vaccination is not complete or information is not received by their start date, the first day of work will be delayed. It is possible in some cases that an offer of employment may be withdrawn.

The School of Applied and Engineering Physics (AEP) at Cornell University seeks applications for two tenured or tenure-track faculty positions. We especially encourage applications by members of groups historically underrepresented in AEP and STEM.
Candidates must be able to demonstrate the ability to develop a highly successful and internationally recognized independent research program and to participate effectively in the teaching of our core physics curriculum at the advanced undergraduate level. One position will be focused with a preference for research in the area of experimental biophysics and biotechnology; for the other position, candidates in research areas such as optics and photonics, nanostructure science and technology, novel instrumentation methods, quantum information science and technology, renewable energy, or materials physics will also be considered. The successful applicants can expect a highly competitive level of support for the start-up of their research program.
Considerable institutional resources at Cornell can strengthen this research program and support interdisciplinary and collaborative research ventures. In particular, successful candidates can benefit from association with one or more of Cornell's interdisciplinary research centers, national facilities, and national resources listed at https://www.engineering.cornell.edu/research-and-faculty/centers-and-facilities.
Typically, postdoctoral experience is considered to be essential for Assistant Professor applicants. However, for exceptional candidates nearing the completion of their PhD, we can also provide additional support beyond the regular startup package – this includes the option for a bridging fellowship for postdoctoral training before the start of the faculty position.
