Position Description

The SCHOOL OF ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER ENGINEERING at CORNELL UNIVERSITY invites applications for a tenured/tenure-track faculty position at Cornell Tech, a research and graduate education campus of Cornell University located on Roosevelt Island in New York City.

We are looking for outstanding candidates, at all ranks of seniority, in the following areas: computer engineering (e.g., AI hardware, computer architecture, digital VLSI) and AI for physical infrastructure, but also welcome exceptional applicants in all research areas. 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 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. Please see our website, https://www.ece.cornell.edu/, for additional information about the school.

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. Along with world-class academic research, a distinguishing characteristic of the campus 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. Please visit https://tech.cornell.edu/ for more information.

Applicants must hold a doctorate in an appropriate field by the time their faculty appointment begins and must have demonstrated an ability to conduct outstanding research and show promise for excellence in teaching. A complete application should include a cover letter, curriculum vitae (CV), brief statements describing research, teaching, service, and external engagement plans, three publications, at least three reference letters, and, for junior applicants, a doctoral transcript.

Inquiries may be directed to: Anders Larson, [e-mail], Assistant to the Directors.

Closing Date: January 15, 2027

Pay Ranges: $83,200 - $357,300

The hiring rate of pay for the successful candidate will be determined considering the following criteria:

• Prior relevant work or industry experience.
• Education level to the extent education is relevant to the position.
• Academic Discipline (faculty pay ranges reflects 9-month annual salary)
• Unique applicable skills.
