<p><span><b>HIRING: Maxwell Postdoctoral Fellows</b></span></p>
<p><span><b>Engineering Innovations in Medicine (EIM) &</b></span><span><b><br>
</b></span><span><b>The Center for Data Science for Enterprise
and Society </b></span><span><b><br>
</b></span><span><b>Cornell University </b></span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span><i>REVIEW OF APPLICATIONS WILL BEGIN 12.10.2025</i></span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>In conjunction with Cornell's Engineering Innovations in
Medicine (EIM) initiative and the School of Operations Research
and Information Engineering, the Center for Data Science for
Enterprise & Society at Cornell University seeks to recruit
Maxwell Postdoctoral Fellows; <b>these are one- or two-year
postdoctoral positions that were made possible by the gift of
alumnus Dev Joneja, PhD '89. Maxwell Fellows provide a bridge
to enhance collaboration among faculty developing cutting edge
tools in data science and in biomedical research, potentially
spanning the Cornell College of Engineering, Weill Cornell
Medicine, and Cornell Tech.</b></span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>The goal of the Engineering Innovations in Medicine
initiative is to advance biological discovery, develop new
diagnostic tools, and deploy new therapeutics by integrating
data science, engineering, and medicine. Specifically, the
mission is to pioneer cutting-edge engineering principles that
will fundamentally change the way biomedical data is acquired,
computed, and used and to develop, validate, and implement new,
data-driven decision-making approaches to advance human health.
Maxwell Fellows will engage in deeply interdisciplinary research
developing and deploying methods from AI, statistics, or
operations research to address challenges in medicine or
biotechnology.</span></p>
<p><span>The Center for Data Science for Enterprise & Society
aims to unify programs and curricula in data science across a
wide spectrum of application domains, 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; <b><i>candidates for the Maxwell postdoctoral
Fellowship are sought</i> <i>from all areas of research that
advance the state of the art in data science and the health
sciences, extending the reach of data-driven research into
novel medical application domains</i>. </b> </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>To illustrate the desired interdisciplinary nature of the
research, one example project could be AI methods for developing
personalized cancer combination therapies, wherein combinations
of chemotherapy drugs are chosen based on adaptively-chosen cell
viability experiments and genomic testing performed in the lab
on cells taken from a cancer patient. An AI method would use
published research and historical data to guide experimentation
toward quickly identifying a safe and effective combination of
drugs for the patient. Success in such a project would require a
working knowledge of concepts from biology, common
experimentation workflows, and the ability to read related
scientific papers on cancer combination therapy. It would also
require expertise in relevant AI methodology, such as deep
learning architectures for property prediction in chemistry and
biology, approaches for extracting relevant information from
foundation models, and/or methods for adaptive experimental
design such as active learning or Bayesian optimization.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Applicants should submit their curriculum vitae (CV) and
research statement summarizing their accomplishments to date;
they must also submit a two-page description of proposed
research for the period to be spent at the Center, including two
proposed faculty mentors at Cornell; these can be any Cornell
faculty members</span><span> </span><span>, and collectively
have expertise that span both some relevant area from a health
science/biomedical technology domain as well as a core data
science domain (typically, one for the former domain and one for
the latter); two letters of recommendation as well as a letter
of support from each Cornell faculty mentor. <i>Applicants must
contact the appropriate faculty directly in advance to ensure
their support of their application.</i> Candidates will be
required to show proof of their Ph.D. prior to the start of this
position, and to have already done substantial research in areas
relevant to the Center and their research proposal. </span></p>
<p><span><b>For full consideration, applications should be completed
by December 10, 2025. Offers will be made to accommodate a
start date within the calendar year 2026, potentially as early
as January 16, 2026. </b> </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span><b>Applications should be submitted on AJO at: </b></span><span><b><u><a href="https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/30973" title="Unmangled Microsoft Safelink">academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/30973</a></u></b></span></p>

<p><span><b>Cornell University </b></span><span><b><br>
<br>
</b></span></p>
<p><span><b>Application Deadline: January 19, 2026 </b>(<i>for full
consideration)</i> </span></p>
<p><span>The Center for Data Science for Enterprise & Society at
Cornell University seeks to recruit multiple candidates to be
hired as Assistant Research Professors or Postdoctoral Fellows;
these are 3-year non-tenure-track positions that are funded
through the Center with support from the College of Engineering,
the Bowers College of Computing and Information Science, and
Cornell Tech at Cornell University. The first cohort recruited
for this program started in academic year 2021-2022. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>This 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., algorithmic accountability and the
interplay of data science with policy, law, and institutions),
the economics/computer science interface (e.g., markets and
mechanism design, auction design, or the study of voting
mechanisms), AI & health (e.g., wearables and
clinical/public-health data to support mental and physical
health), the aspects of digital agriculture in the production
and management of agriculture (e.g., managing the food supply
chain), digital platforms for urban infrastructure
(e.g., micromobility and curb management, heat-wave adaptation,
digital twins for housing and code enforcement), 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; <b><i>candidates for
these Assistant Research Professorships are sought</i></b> <b><i>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</i>. </b> </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>The application should include the following elements. </span></p>
<p><span>(1) a cover letter</span></p>
<p><span>(2) a publication list (3) a CV; </span></p>
<p><span>(4) a research statement summarizing accomplishments to
date </span></p>
<p><span>(5) a plan of proposed research for the duration of the
position working together with your proposed mentors; </span></p>
<p><span>(6) at least two letters of recommendation from faculty who
know your work well; </span></p>
<p><span>(7) letters of support from (at least) two Cornell faculty
members who are proposed as faculty mentors (where the letters
should be received by January 19, 2026). </span></p>
<p><span>The proposed faculty mentors at Cornell should collectively
have expertise in a core data science domain as well as an
application domain, and should be drawn from at least two of the
following Cornell units: the College of Engineering, the Bowers
College of Computing and Information Science, and Cornell Tech;
exceptional cases with mentors from other units will also be
considered<i>. </i>Faculty mentors can be either on the Ithaca
campus or at Cornell Tech in New York City; however,
appointments for applicants must 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. <b>Review of applications will
begin on January 19, 2026, and continue until the positions
