*Position Summary*

Cornell University’s Department of Policy Analysis and Management (PAM) in
the College of Human Ecology (CHE) invites applications for a dynamic,
visionary leader to serve as Chair.  The Department consists of 29 tenure
track faculty spanning multiple disciplines with strong depth in economics,
sociology, and demography.  The Department offers a wide range of programs
at all degree levels, and the Chair position presents an opportunity for a
scholar to play a key role in supporting and elevating the social sciences
and public policy in CHE and Cornell University more broadly.  PAM serves
as a hub for teaching in public policy, currently offering a large
undergraduate major in Policy Analysis and Management, a Masters in Health
Administration (the Sloan Program), and a PhD in Policy Analysis and
Management. PAM is launching a new undergraduate major in Health Care and
Policy and contributes to teaching in the professional MPA degree offered
by the Cornell Institute for Public Affairs (CIPA).  The Department has
strong ties with schools and departments across Cornell, and faculty lend
their expertise to several graduate fields, including Economics, Sociology,
Public Affairs, Industrial and Labor Relations (ILR), and Demography.  The
Department also has close connections with and provides leadership to
multidisciplinary centers and institutes across campus, with PAM faculty
leading and playing significant roles in the Cornell Population Center, the
Institute for Social Sciences, the Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational
Research (BCTR), and CIPA.

PAM faculty are exceptional in their research productivity.  According

Analytics*, the faculty in PAM ranked 5th in overall productivity among the

budget planned for 2017-2018 is $9.6 million, including 77 percent from CHE
and 23 percent from grants, contracts, federal appropriations, restricted
gifts, and endowment income.

The next Chairperson will be an internationally known scholar with the
ability to be strategic and visionary about PAM’s future opportunities, who
can build on the positive trajectory that PAM has established since its
inception twenty years ago.  The candidate will need a scholarly record
commensurate with tenure at the full professor level and the ability to
balance administration, research, teaching, and public engagement.  The
primary responsibilities of the Chair include providing leadership and
oversight of the department’s academic programs and budgets, and working
closely with the department’s administrative manager to ensure a workplace
that is supportive of faculty, staff, and students.  The ideal candidate
will be able to demonstrate the ability to lead in a climate of
collaboration, transparency, and shared governance.  The Chair also plays a
key role in campus-wide initiatives related to public policy and the social
sciences.  The Department Chair reports to the Dean of CHE.

candidate must be able to work and thrive in a multi-disciplinary setting.
