FULL-TIME TEACHING FACULTY SEARCH (OPEN-RANK TEACHING PROFESSOR), ITHACA CAMPUS

Our nearly 40 faculty members are leaders in their respective fields within Information Science's interdisciplinary structure, specializing in areas like data science, artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, natural language processing, ubiquitous computing, user-experience design, tech-law policy, and much more. IS is housed in Cornell's Gates Hall and a new building completed in 2025. The department has strong connections with several other units on campus, including Computer Science, Communication, Economics, Sociology, Science and Technology Studies, Operations Research and Information Engineering, and Cognitive Science. These connections support the IS Department's mission to advance our understanding of how people and society interact with computing and information.

Teaching faculty hired in these positions will be full-time members of the IS Department; a typical full-time (100%) load for a Teaching Professor in IS is two courses per semester. Based on candidate qualifications and experience, the initial appointment will be either a three-year (Assistant Teaching Professor) or five-year (Associate or Full Teaching Professor) appointment. This is a non-tenured professional teaching track with the potential for growth, the expectation of renewal, and eventual promotion for Teaching Professors. Evaluation is through a combination of student course feedback, peer teaching evaluations, and assessments of course design and impact from experts outside the department.

The department offers a competitive benefits package and salary. Teaching Professors play a full and active part in departmental life, ranging from educational leadership such as curriculum design to department governance with voting rights and eligibility for administrative roles.
