Job description
Culture of Inclusion and Community Standards
As an individual contributor you will model and support a culture of diversity, equity, inclusion, and wellbeing and continually seek to understand how your role, behaviors, and actions impact the success of this culture.
Department Background
Cornell University's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences tackles the challenges of our times through purpose-driven science that advances understanding and improves life.
Unique among peer institutions in the United States, the breadth of disciplinary expertise in the Department of Natural Resources and the Environment - from ethics and social sciences to conservation genetics and applied ecology - creates a stimulating multidisciplinary atmosphere for our students, staff, faculty and visiting scholars. We have strong collaborative ties across Cornell University, other universities, governmental agencies, and leading environmental and conservation organizations.
The Hudson River Estuary Program helps people enjoy, protect, and revitalize the Hudson River and its valley. The program focuses on the tidal Hudson and adjacent watershed from the federal dam at Troy to the Verrazano Narrows in New York City, including upper New York-New Jersey Harbor. The program works with many groups to develop knowledgeable and effective stewards of the estuary, using an understanding of the river's ecology as a foundation for its work.
