Strategic Faculty Hiring in Sustainability: Information Session For Faculty - June 5, 3-4pm
May 29, 2009
The Faculty Recruitment sub-committee of the CCSF Faculty Advisory Committee invites Cornell Faculty to attend an informational session Friday, June 5, 3:00-4:00 PM in 300 Rice Hall. This meeting is to discuss focus areas for strategic faculty hiring in sustainability, to promote cluster hiring, in cross-cutting areas. Focus areas for hiring need to be problem defined and reflect either existing or latent potential for excellence or areas where an existing gap on campus can be rectified. Multiple units (of multiple colleges) should be involved in focus areas. The first such focus area was formed this fall to guide a cluster hire in climate change within CALS. Within the next year, CCSF anticipates recruitment of several faculty with skills related to energy supply, distribution and end use, in association with the College of Engineering's efforts to establish an Energy Institute. Please see the attached for additional information.
