Current Job Openings

  • ECE Lecturer/Sr. Lecturer

    Ithaca, New York
    Posted:

    Cornell University's College of Engineering (COE), has a long and storied history of distinction, creativity and impact. The departments of mechanic arts (now mechanical and aerospace engineering) and civil engineering date to the University’s founding. The College established the nation’s first electrical engineering department in 1889 and awarded the nation’s first doctorates in both electrical and industrial engineering. 

    Its legacy continues to this day, as Cornell Engineering brings together the best minds from across disciplines to invent disruptive technologies and discover novel solutions to complex and challenging problems. It is a global leader in research, teaching, and advancing diversity in the field. COE is also a key collaborator across the rich interdisciplinary landscape at Cornell University, playing a role in all of the university’s Radical Collaborations to address society’s most challenging problems. 

    The college enrolls a diverse and talented student body that includes 3,200+ undergraduate students and 2,100+ graduate students, and has over 46,000 living alumni around the globe. COE is home to a diverse, collaborative, talented and dedicated 200+ tenured and tenure-track faculty, plus research faculty and professors of practice who work each day to change the world. Faculty span 10 departments, schools and programs with a footprint in both Ithaca and New York City. 

    The School of Electrical and Computer Engineering connects our world. ECE fields range from the nanoscale to the gigantic, from electronics for microscopic integrated circuits and biological systems to large-scale energy generators and the power grid, from the maker movement to theoretical quantum mechanics. Look around and you'll see ECE everywhere. The future of self-driving cars, drones, robotics, AI, mobile phones and the Internet of Things all depend upon innovations in ECE. The department supports approximately 40 faculty, 175 undergraduates, 130 Master of Engineering students and over 150 Ph.D. students. 

    The SCHOOL OF ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER ENGINEERING invites applications for a Lecturer/Senior Lecturer position. The successful candidate will be expected to teach courses primarily in digital logic, computer organization, embedded systems, and/or computer architecture. Teaching competency in other areas relevant to our ECE curriculum is a plus. Candidates should hold a M.S. or Ph.D. in a relevant field or be able to demonstrate 5+ years of relevant experience.

    The School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at Cornell University invites applications for tenure-track or tenured faculty positions at Cornell Tech* - Cornell University's campus in New York City.

    Apply online: https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/22894

    We welcome exceptional applicants in all research areas of ECE. We are particularly interested in applicants from areas broadly relevant to the current research priorities at the Cornell Tech campus while addressing grand challenges in transportation, urban infrastructure, energy, information security, and healthcare. Specific research areas of emphasis include; communications, robotics, control, and cyberphysical systems.

    Applicants must hold a doctorate in an appropriate field by the start date of their faculty appointment. In keeping with the mission of Cornell Tech, applicants must also have a strong interest in activities that reach beyond academia for external engagement and impact, in areas that may include technology commercialization and entrepreneurship, or activities with non-profit organizations, government and policy issues, international programs, or pre-college (K-12) education. Applicants for senior positions should have a demonstrated track record of such external engagement. 

    We will begin reviewing and interviewing candidates immediately and continue until positions are filled. Applications received by December 15, 2022 will be given full consideration. Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae (CV), brief statements describing research, teaching, and external engagement, a statement of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and arrange to have at least three reference letters submitted. In the cover letter, CV, or research statement, applicants should identify a small set of their most significant pieces of work. A distinguishing characteristic of research at Cornell Tech, in addition to world-class academic work, is that it engages deeply with external communities, organizations, K-12 education, and industry to address real-world problems and contexts that amplify the direct commercial and societal impact of our research. Accordingly, within a clearly identified subsection of the Research Statement, the candidate should address prior accomplishments and future plans related to this kind of direct commercial and/or societal impact of their research.

    * Cornell Tech is a graduate campus of Cornell University located on Roosevelt Island in New York City. Cornell Tech's academic environment encourages tight integration across disciplines in technology, business, law, and design, couples fundamental research with practice, and supports societal and commercial ventures alongside research and education. In addition to world-class academic work, a distinguishing characteristic of our research is that it engages deeply with external communities, organizations, and industry to address real-world problems and contexts that amplify the direct societal and commercial impact of our research. Hubs in Health Tech, Urban Tech, and Public Interest Tech exemplify this approach, bringing together researchers, practitioners and communities to collaborate.
