Open Positions

The successful candidate will have a distinguished record of experience in teaching with a demonstrated ability to engage in scholarship, research, and/or creative work. They must demonstrate academic excellence and leadership in their field of expertise and evidence of a deep commitment to engaging in diversity, equity, and belonging in the academy.

The College of Architecture, Art, and Planning is one of Cornell University's oldest colleges, and home to approximately 900 students, 100 visiting and full-time faculty, and about 60 staff members. We are committed to the belief that architecture, art, and planning are simultaneously intellectual, spatial, social, and material practices, and that leadership in the field demands both expertise in a specific discipline and broader knowledge across disciplines. Cornell's Ithaca campus is the physical and academic center for AAP, but given the global nature of our interests, the college has extended its reach to include permanent programs in the historic center of Rome and New York City. In Ithaca, the college is located on the campus' Arts Quad and spans five buildings, including the OMA-designed Milstein Hall, the historic Sibley Hall and Tjaden Hall, the Mui Ho Fine Arts Library within the recently renovated Rand Hall, and the landmarked Foundry building. For over a century, AAP has educated many influential theorists and practitioners in the United States, and it continues to build its strength in research and teaching.

AAP is committed to an inclusive and diverse community and an open learning environment that is free from bias. We embrace creative and analytic practices that challenge preconceptions and prejudice; encourage critical engagement with the many forms of built and creative culture; and defend the prerogative of our disciplines to ask difficult questions. These goals are the shared vision and responsibility of the college, departments, and AAP's Council for Diversity and Inclusion that includes students, staff, and faculty members. In a year-long collaborative process, the Council has advanced a strategic action plan, Building a Just and Equitable AAP, to further the advancement of diversity and inclusion work in all facets of the college's work. An Office of Diversity and Inclusion has been re-established, and a Director of Diversity and Inclusion staff position with a focus on student and staff services has been filled. The Associate Dean for Diversity and Equity faculty position is a termed leadership appointment, and the candidate will spend a portion of their teaching, research, and service effort during their three-year (extendable) term to advance college priorities around diversity and inclusion.

In their role as Associate Dean for Diversity and Equity, the candidate will lead and coordinate college-wide initiatives on diversity and equity, and help foster an inclusive climate for students, staff, and faculty. They will lead initiatives for the recruitment, retention, and career development of a diverse faculty including coordinating resources, mentoring, and facilitating peer support to all AAP faculty. The Associate Dean will co-chair the college Council for Diversity and Inclusion, and work with college leadership to inform, strategize, set, and advance the college's D&I programs and initiatives. Along with the Director of Student Services, the Associate Dean will supervise and partner with the Director of Diversity and Inclusion in Student Services to support AAP students, who include undergraduates, master's students (professional and research degrees) and doctoral students. As AAP's academic diversity officer, the Associate Dean will also work closely and coordinate AAP D&I efforts with university-wide entities including among others, the Graduate School and the Office of Faculty Development and Diversity.

As a tenured faculty member, serving the AAP community as the Associate Dean for Diversity and Equity, the successful candidate joins a vibrant departmental and college community in encouraging design imagination, technical creativity, critical thinking, historical awareness, and the development of a social, ethical, and artistic perspective while advocating for the rights of all communities and individuals to pursue their futures with equal opportunity.

The Department of Art, part of the College of Architecture, Art, and Planning, offers both B.F.A. and M.F.A. degrees with a strong liberal arts component. In 2018, the department renewed its commitment to integrate a wide range of intellectual and representational variables into art practice. The department enjoys a close relationship with Cornell's Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, the Cornell Library, and diverse academic units across the university including in the humanities, sciences, and technology. Art faculty and students have access to extensive traditional and digital production facilities in the college as well as to the resources of a major research university. The department also offers semester-long undergraduate studio programs in both New York City and Rome, Italy. 

The candidate will advance their own creative practice even as they work with us to take the larger project of expanding imaginaries for social change forwards in a way that will support the department's goal of preparing students for art making in an increasingly diverse and inclusive world. We seek candidates with a strong and creative teaching experience, a significant record in exhibition or other modes of public artistic engagement, and a critical practice that has received wide recognition. Of particular interest for this search are candidates whose practices include one or more of print media, time-based media, installation and performance. Nonetheless, because individual faculty and student practices regularly lie beyond or across these traditional categories, we encourage applications from the full range of media, practice, and background/orientation.

Applicants should have a deep knowledge of their media, but also a demonstrated familiarity with the broad range of current practices, and must be able to teach from a knowledge of art history and theory. Cornell AAP's B.F.A. and M.F.A. are both oriented toward the interrelationship and integration of interdisciplinary studio practice with content from across the university: the candidate should therefore be able to address art practice in a broad cultural, socio/political, technical, and conceptual context within an atmosphere of close faculty/student involvement and mentoring. Responsibilities include teaching all levels of the undergraduate and graduate programs, developing topical seminars, and participating in related departmental services such as admissions and portfolio review, curriculum development, and undergraduate and graduate student advising.

In contemporary cities across the world, the turn to digital media and data-driven forms of governance shapes publics, informs urban policy and development (on climate change, infrastructure, and housing, for instance), and inflects in democratic practice, its erosion, and its possibilities. A focus on the digital life of participation would bring to the Department of City and Regional Planning a focus on digital practices and their rootedness in the city and its infrastructure and services. It would address a variety of key themes, from digital publics and their interplay in gendered and racialized urban inequities, the place of social media and 'big data' in urban democracy, and the role of digital forms of communication and their ethics. From the household to the urban and regional scales, these questions are as important to engage in data-poor parts of the global north and south as they are in the data-rich.

We seek a scholar with a critical theoretical approach and innovative methods and pedagogies—including, but not limited to, crowdsourcing data, mapping, web-scraping, critical infrastructure studies, social media analysis and other forms of urban data analytics—who draws on the qualitative social sciences, creative forms of writing and visualization and works on urban planning in the digital realm.
