Ithaca, New York, United States Cornell University Full time
Faculty Position Available

Position: Assistant or Associate Professor, Tenure Track

Location: Ithaca, NY

The School of Integrative Plant Science (SIPS) in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University invites applications for a 9-month, full-time tenure-track position with an emphasis on the ecology and management of plants in urban green spaces.

As New York State's urban population continues to grow, the sustainable creation of green spaces and their integration into the built environment will be critical to ensure the healthy functioning of urban communities. The positive benefits of urban green spaces are increasingly valued for plant and animal biodiversity, human quality of life, and ecosystem services.

The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. in Horticulture, Plant Science, Ecology, or a related discipline, demonstrate potential to excel in research and teaching, display excellence in communication and collaboration, and contribute to a culture of inclusive excellence.

The position has an effort split of 60% research and 40% teaching. Research topics may include breeding and selection of urban landscape plants, root biology in urban environments, ecophysiological modeling of urban tree ecosystem services, urban landscape management, ecotoxicology, and related topics.

Teaching responsibilities will include an undergraduate course on sustainable landscape management, a seven-week modular course on plant identification in natural environments, and co-teaching an undergraduate course on urban plant biodiversity.

The successful candidate will assume an active role in advancing the Green Cities initiative and collaborate with colleagues across the College and University.

Cornell University offers a competitive salary and benefits package, support for start-up costs, and a tenure-track position in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.

The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences is a pioneer of purpose-driven science and Cornell University's second-largest college. We work across disciplines to tackle the challenges of our time through world-renowned research, education, and outreach.

Cornell University is an innovative Ivy League and Land-grant university and a great place to work.
