The Center for Data Science for Enterprise & Society at Cornell 
University seeks to recruit multiple candidates to be hired as Assistant 
Research Professors; these are 3-year non-tenure-track positions that 
are funded in part by the Center and in part by a cooperating unit at 
Cornell University, either at the Ithaca campus or at Cornell Tech in 
New York City (depending on the location of the faculty mentors). The 
first cohort recruited for this program will be starting in academic 
year 2021-2022.

This new Center aims to unify programs and curricula in data science 
with an initial emphasis on questions grounded in data that are 
generated by human activity, including computational social science 
(e.g., sociology and government), the economics/computer science 
interface, the aspects of digital agriculture in the production and 
management of agriculture, digital platforms supporting urban 
infrastructure (e.g., the sharing economy), and as a theme that is 
cross-cutting in many of these areas, the corresponding issues of 
privacy, security, and fairness. The areas highlighted are meant to 
serve only as illustrative; /candidates for these Assistant Research 
Professorships are sought from all areas of research that advance the 
state of the art in data science, extending the reach of data-driven 
research into novel application domains./

Applicants should submit their curriculum vitae (CV) and research 
statement summarizing their accomplishments to date, as well as a 
diversity statement; they must also submit a two-page description of 
proposed research for the period to be spent at the Center, including a 
proposed primary Cornell faculty member, this can be any Cornell faculty 
member, to mentor the candidate (and potentially a secondary mentor to 
span both some relevant area from the application domain as well as 
someone from a core data science domain); two letters of recommendation 
and a letter of support from the Cornell faculty mentor(s). Faculty 
mentors can be either on the Ithaca campus or at Cornell Tech; however, 
appointments for applicants will be at least 50% in Ithaca, and will be 
split between the campuses (either 50/50 or 80/20) only if at least one 
of the mentors is at Cornell Tech. Candidates are expected to have 
completed their Ph.D. prior to the start of this position, and to have 
already done substantial research in areas relevant to the Center. 
*Application review will begin on September 30, 2021, and continue until 
the position has been filled. For applicants starting in the Spring 2022 
semester applications should be completed by October 15, 2021. It is 
expected that offers will be made to accommodate start dates for both 
Spring and Fall 2022 semesters. Applications should be submitted on AJO 
at https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/19206 
<https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/19206>.*

The Center for Data Science for Enterprise & Society embraces diversity 
and seeks candidates who can contribute to a welcoming climate for 
students, staff and faculty of all races and genders. We strongly 
encourage women and underrepresented minorities to apply.
