Position

* Cornell University, Director of the Cornell Migrant Program (CMP)

The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University has
opened a search for a new director of the Cornell Migrant Program (CMP) and
welcomes nominations or inquiries about the position at
<cmp-director-search at cornell.edu>. Position description #3405 is linked to
www.ohr.cornell.edu/jobs.

The director will provide leadership in sponsoring, conducting and
disseminating research helpful to farmworkers, their employers and the
communities in which they live, and ensure that the Cornell Migrant Program
provides reliable, consistent, and comprehensive information.  The director
will have responsibilities for supervision of staff in the program and for
grant and contract management. The appointment will be as a senior extension
associate in an appropriate academic unit in CALS. The initial appointment
is for five years, with the possibility of renewal. Close collaboration with
faculty across the colleges of Industrial Labor and Relations (ILR), Human
Ecology (CHE), CALS, and Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) is expected.
The director will also be charged with forming an advisory board consisting
of stakeholders that include farmworkers, farmers and their respective
advocates.

With the firm grounding provided by strong linkages to the academic mission
of the university and advice from informed stakeholders, the Cornell Migrant
Program will be poised to play a leadership role in improving the lives of
farmworkers and their families, said Henry.  The CMP grew out of the
Agricultural Manpower Project started by CALS and CCE in 1971, and was
transferred to the Department of Human Development and Family Studies in CHE
in 1979, when it was renamed the Cornell Migrant Program. The program's
focus has shifted numerous times over the thirty-plus years of its existence
in an effort to remain responsive to the changing needs of farmworkers and
the farming community.  After an extensive review, in May 2004, the deans of
CHE, CALS and the director of CCE announced the restructuring of the CMP to
meet better the changing and complex needs of New York's farmworkers,
including migrant, seasonal, and year-round workers and their families. As
part of the restructuring, oversight of the program was shifted from CHE to
CALS. A transition team led by Max Pfeffer, professor of development
sociology in CALS and associate director of the Cornell University
Agricultural Experiment Station, was appointed to work on restructuring the
program.
