[Commlist] Tenure-track faculty search at Cornell University: Science-Based Solutions to Grand Challenges in Equity and Inclusion

Cornell University’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) is 
leading a new cluster hire initiative that leverages our existing 
strengths and transdisciplinary leadership in solution-based physical 
and/or social sciences to explicitly address systemic challenges facing 
historically and habitually marginalized and disadvantaged communities. 
We seek to establish a network of scholars committed to pursuing 
research, teaching, extension and outreach on race, racism, ethnicity, 
social justice, power, and equality structures in their various fields 
of specialization. /The Communication Department is heavily involved 
with this search and has a faculty member serving on the search 
committee. Thus, we highly encourage communication scholars who see 
themselves as a fit to apply

CALS embraces interdisciplinary scholarship and collaboration in our 
departments and schools. The successful candidate will join the faculty 
in one of CALS’ nationally and internationally recognized 
tenure-granting departments and sections: our 16 departments 
<https://cals.cornell.edu/education/schools-departments> plus the School 
of Integrative Plant Science 
<https://cals.cornell.edu/school-integrative-plant-science>. Strong 
consideration will be given to scholars with demonstrated research and 
teaching or extension excellence in areas such as (but not exclusive 
to): climate and environmental justice; social and socio-economic system 
resilience under climate change, globalization, and/or technological 
change; health equity; disparities in access/use/representation in media 
and communication technologies; food security, food access and food 
technology; agricultural, natural resource, land, and water 
(dis)possession and management; improving urban landscapes and 
ecosystems; urban agriculture; empowerment of Black, Indigenous, and 
Hispanic people, and people of color in agriculture or food production; 
access, equity, and inclusion in the realm of artificial intelligence, 
big data, computational biology and/or the basic life sciences.

The new faculty will join a department of mutually aligned interests and 
focal area, contributing to research and teaching or extension 
curriculum in a way that leverages existing strengths while building 
unique and collaborative opportunities and programs that include 
community engagement with a focus on equity and justice. At least five 
new faculty will be hired as part of this search.
