The Cornell University Department of Information Science (IS) in the Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science (Bowers CIS) has tenure-track and tenured faculty positions available. The IS department spans Cornell’s Ithaca and New York City campuses where nearly 40 faculty members are leaders in their respective fields within Information Science's interdisciplinary structure.
We are interested in applications from researchers in any of the broad research areas of the department (see https://infosci.cornell.edu/research) and from researchers who can contribute to advancing the department's commitment to diversity and inclusion. This year, we are especially interested in candidates whose research uses qualitative, ethnographic, or interpretive methods from the social sciences and humanities; computational and quantitative social science approaches; or the study and design of interactions between human and AI systems, including the ways that people make sense of these systems.
Faculty hired for this Ithaca campus search will have their teaching and research based in Ithaca. The IS faculty are located in Cornell’s Gates Hall and the department has strong connections with several other units on campus, including Computer Science (also in Gates Hall), Communication, Economics, Sociology, Science and Technology Studies, Statistics and Data Science, Operations Research and Information Engineering, Cognitive Science, and the Law School. These connections support the IS department’s mission to advance its understanding of how people and society interact with computing and information.
The department strives to offer a high quality of life, providing a collegial and supportive atmosphere on campus. Beyond campus, Ithaca is in the heart of the Finger Lakes region, and both Cornell and Ithaca offer a vibrant cultural life and a wide range of sporting and outdoor activities close at hand. Cornell 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 in dual career searches.
Candidates must hold a Ph.D. or equivalent degree by August 2025. Candidates should submit a cover letter, a curriculum vitae (CV), a research statement, a teaching statement, and the names of at least three people who will provide reference letters. The cover letter and research statement should highlight up to three of the candidate’s most significant pieces of work for consideration. We also 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.
