Science-Based Solutions to Grand Challenges in Equity and Inclusion

Dear All:

I'm writing to share with you an exciting new job opportunity in Cornell's
College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (where the communication
department is housed).

Best,
Brooke

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
<https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/19729>.*



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.



You will find the full description at the AJO
<https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/19729> application portal.
