Working at Cornell

Be A Part Of Cornell's Digital Future - Join The CEMI Project!

Cornell is embarking on an exciting journey to transform the way we work together and create a better experience for all students, faculty, staff, alumni, donors, patients, and partners through the Cornell Enterprise Modernization Initiative (CEMI). This initiative will bring our systems, processes, and people into a new digital era.

As we move forward, we’re looking for Cornell colleagues from across the university to help shape this transformation. Opportunities within CEMI are not limited to technical roles; they span a range of areas including administration, finance, communications, change management, data analysis, and project coordination. Whether your strengths lie in problem-solving, collaboration, or innovation, your skills can make a meaningful contribution.

To support this work, there will be limited-term opportunities available across the university to backfill critical roles for colleagues who transition to the CEMI project. These backfill positions are essential to sustaining operations and ensuring continuity in our colleges and units while enabling broad participation in this important initiative. At the same time, we are approaching these opportunities with care and intention, balancing operational needs with our current environment of financial austerity.

While these roles are time-bound, they offer an extraordinary chance to:

  • Expand your skill set and gain hands-on experience
  • Collaborate with talented peers from across Cornell’s colleges and units
  • Help shape the future of how Cornell operates — simplifying where we can, and customizing where we must

Please take a moment to explore the opportunities and consider stepping into a role within CEMI where your skills, interests, and curiosity help shape the future of how Cornell works.

Please note: These are structured, limited-term appointments—not gig or short-term side opportunities. Accepting one of these roles means formally transitioning from your current position into the term role for its duration.
