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 the inaugural Maxwell Postdoctoral Fellow; this is a one-year postdoctoral position made possible by the gift of alumnus Dev Joneja, PhD ‘89. This position will serve to bridge between the Cornell College of Engineering, Weill Cornell Medicine, and Cornell Tech.
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.
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; candidates for the Maxwell postdoctoral Fellowship are sought 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.
Applicants should submit their curriculum vitae (CV) and research statement summarizing their accomplishments to date, as well as a diversity statement; they must also submit a two-page description of proposed research for the period to be spent at the Center, including a proposed primary and secondary faculty mentor at Cornell; these can be any Cornell faculty members, and collectively have expertise that span both some relevant area from a health science application domain as well as a core data science domain; two letters of recommendation as well as a letter of support from each Cornell faculty mentor. Applicants should contact the appropriate faculty directly in advance to ensure their support of their application. Applications should have mentors appointed in in different Cornell units from at least two of the Cornell College of Engineering, Weill Cornell Medicine, and Cornell Tech, but applications with mentors from both the Cornell College of Engineering and Weill Cornell Medicine are particularly encouraged. 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.
For full consideration, applications should be completed by February 15, 2025. Offers will be made to accommodate a start date as early as July 2025.

Assistant Research Professors and Postdoctoral Fellows
Center for Data Science for Enterprise & Society
Cornell University
Application Deadline: January 10, 2024 (for full consideration)
Apply online at AJO: https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/29159
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 in part by the Center and in part by a cooperating unit at Cornell University. The first cohort recruited for this program started in academic year 2021-2022.
This new 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., sociology and government), the economics/computer science interface (e.g., the study of voting mechanisms), the aspects of digital agriculture in the production and management of agriculture (e.g., managing the food supply chain), 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; candidates for these Assistant Research Professorships are sought 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.
The application should include the following elements.
(1) a CV;
(2) a research statement summarizing accomplishments to date
(3) a plan of proposed research for the duration of the position working together with your proposed mentors;
(4) at least two letters of recommendation from faculty who know your work well;
(5) letters of support from two Cornell faculty members who are proposed as a primary and secondary faculty mentor (which may be received as late as January 10, 2025).
One of the positions to be filled will be associated with the Data and Democracy Lab.
The proposed primary and secondary faculty mentor at Cornell can be any Cornell faculty members who collectively have expertise in a core data science domain and an application domain. Applications for which mentors have positions in different Cornell units are particularly encouraged. 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. Review of applications has begun, but applications will be accepted until January 10, 2025, or until the positions have been filled.
