Search for the Dean

Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science

Ithaca, New York

 

Cornell University seeks a visionary leader with proven strategic and collaborative skills to serve as the next dean of the Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science (“Cornell Bowers”). This individual will have the opportunity to lead a vibrant and growing unit that brings a human lens to tech and is a leader and model of innovation, invention, social impact, and world-class scholarship and education. The dean will join Cornell Bowers at an exciting time, building on the college’s impressive trajectory.

 

Cornell Bowers started as a bold experiment that united the creation of new technology with a deeper understanding of the interplay of technology with humanity. Cornell recognized that the Information Age was transforming society and saw the potential to guide and amplify that change through the creation of the Faculty of Computing and Information Science (Cornell CIS) in 1999. This revolutionary approach still propels the college today.

 

A transformative gift from Ann S. Bowers ’59 named the college in 2020 and launched a new era of computing, information, and statistics and data science at Cornell. Through its world-leading Computer Science, Information Science, and Statistics and Data Science programs, the college has emerged as a global force for collaboration across disciplines—creatively and thoughtfully exploring technology’s potential and impact. Empowered by Ann Bowers’ investment, the college is pursuing a strategy that will expand Cornell Bowers’ impact on higher education, technology, and society, including ongoing faculty growth and a nearly completed four-story, 135,000-square-foot building that will more than double the college’s footprint and support the college's innovative and cross-disciplinary research and teaching.

 

Reporting to the provost, the dean will serve as the chief academic officer of Cornell Bowers and set a strategic vision for the college. The successful candidate will be a distinguished scholar with a passion for innovation in research and education, a strong commitment to social impact, and a demonstrated ability to lead cross-campus and cross-disciplinary initiatives, leveraging Cornell’s collaborative culture to deepen partnerships across the university and beyond.

 

Cornell has retained Isaacson, Miller, a national search firm, to assist with this recruitment. Inquiries, nominations, referrals, and CVs with cover letters should be sent via the Isaacson, Miller website: https://www.imsearch.com/open-searches/cornell-university-ann-s-bowers-college-computing-and-information-science/dean.

 

Expected Salary Range: $500,000 to $575,000

Challenging, visionary, international, beloved.

With 13,500 undergraduates and 6,000 graduate students, Cornell University is the largest and youngest university in the Ivy League. Its campus includes 14 colleges and schools: seven undergraduate units and four graduate and professional units in Ithaca; two medical graduate and professional units in New York City, and one in Doha, Qatar.

Cornell is a major research university with strengths in the life sciences, physical sciences, humanities, and social sciences. Faculty members work in collaborative, multidisciplinary teams to extend the frontiers of knowledge in diverse and numerous fields of study.

As a land-grant institution, Cornell applies research findings to improve the lives of the people of New York State and the world.

Since its beginnings, Cornell University has educated students without regard to race, gender, religion, nationality, or wealth—in an academic community where all forms of knowledge are explored. Cornell was one of the first co-educational institutions in the East and one of the first to admit students of color. This egalitarian and practical vision of higher education, revolutionary when the university was founded in 1865, still informs Cornell’s guiding principles in the 21st century.

Cornell University is dedicated to its original mission of accessibility and opportunity, outreach, and public service.
