Welcome to Jobs at Cornell

A World of Opportunity

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.
