Assistant Professor - Controlled Environment Agriculture Engineering Faculty Position Available: Assistant ProfessorCohort Hire: Revolutionizing Controlled Environment AgricultureFocus: Controlled Environment Agriculture EngineeringDepartment of Biological and Environmental Engineering, Cornell UniversityPosition:Assistant Professor, Tenure-track.Location:Ithaca, NY. The academic home for this position is the Department of Biological and Environmental Engineering (BEE) in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, housed on the Ithaca campus of Cornell University.The Department of Biological and Environmental Engineering (BEE) in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) at Cornell University is seeking a highly collaborative scholar to contribute to the development of innovative and sustainable Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) systems. Our new colleague will join a Cohort Faculty Hire in Revolutionizing Controlled Environment Agriculture.The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) Roadmap to 2050 is centering environmental justice to achieve climate and sustainability goals via a cohort of hires within our Transdisciplinary Moonshots - opportunities for the College to collaborate on future-focused, cross-disciplinary scientific breakthroughs and to align research, education, and extension programs for greater impact and stronger connectivity. The Moonshot areas build upon core strengths in CALS, spanning the agricultural, environmental, life, and social sciences, with the goal of recruiting 27 faculty into the College over the next three years.This cohort will advance the CALS Transdisciplinary Moonshot in Revolutionizing Controlled Environment Agriculture. This cohort includes recent or concurrent hires in plant pathology, insect ecology, food systems economist, and a specialty crop physiologist within the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. These new faculty hires will play an integral role in the design of a planned CALS investment in new CEA facilities. Research in the Revolutionizing Controlled Environmental Agriculture cohort will develop productive and sustainable CEA systems that are energy and resource efficient, resistant to biotic and abiotic stressors, and responsive to changing demographics and food markets. Current production of specialty crops is challenged by a myriad of factors that are amplified by extreme and erratic climatic events that devastate crops and favor the establishment of invasive pests and diseases. CEA is an expanding approach to address climate change and other challenges for food production. CEA systems, ranging from partially to fully enclosed facilities, have the potential to provide an extended and more stable environment for plants with enhanced protection against extreme weather events, food-borne pathogens, and invasive pests and diseases. These systems create opportunities for streamlining farm labor and advancing production techniques using artificial intelligence and robotics. CEA systems will also help to stabilize supply-chain issues and export market timing, thus expanding market potential and opportunities to provide more equitable access to food.In this search we seek to hire a scholar to focus on the technology and engineering aspects of Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA). The position will include research (50%) and teaching (50%). Teaching responsibilities will include core undergraduate and graduate level courses in BEE along with other upper-level classes devel
