Welcome

Cornell University was founded in Ithaca, NY, in 1865 with a revolutionary aim--to educate students, without regard to race, gender, religion, or wealth, in a community where all forms of knowledge would be explored.

Today Cornell remains committed to this legacy by seeking not only a wide diversity of students, but visionary faculty and equally talented staff who give new meaning to the concepts of stewardship, teamwork, inclusiveness, innovation, and adaptability. We celebrate differences, encourage dialogue, and inspire discovery.

Please Note: Given the current economic climate, Cornell University leadership has instituted a hiring pause on non-professorial hiring effective from November 3, 2008 to March 31, 2009. The pause will affect most, but not all, open non-professorial positions. Opportunities that remain open to external applicants because they are critical to the university's mission can be found at the links below. Cornell continues its commitment to recruiting and retaining the best and brightest faculty and staff.
