Added August 2021 – University of Central Florida: Assistant Professor (Tenure-Track)

Faculty Cluster Initiative – Cybersecurity and Privacy Cluster

Office of Research

The University of Central Florida (UCF) has established nine interdisciplinary clusters to strengthen its academic offerings and research mission. In support of this effort, we are recruiting faculty in the broad area of cyber security and privacy, from a policy or social science perspective, and plan to hire one tenure-earning assistant professor for this cluster. This position has an anticipated start date of August 8, 2022.

The Cybersecurity and Privacy Cluster is an interdisciplinary initiative, bringing together researchers from across the campus and working on addressing the pressing questions of our national security from engineering, science, and social perspectives. The cluster currently has eight members, collectively advising more than 35 doctoral students, and embracing a strong culture of collaboration and teamwork. The cluster runs various well-funded programs, has developed and implemented a new interdisciplinary M.S. in Cybersecurity and Privacy, and was recently selected by the National Science Foundation to be a host institution for the prestigious Scholarship for Service Program.

This is an interdisciplinary position that will be expected to strengthen both the cluster and a chosen tenure home department and may include a combination of joint appointments. A strong advantage of this position is the ability of the candidate to choose a combination of units from the cluster for their appointment. See http://www.ucf.edu/faculty/cluster/cyber-security-and-privacy/ for a complete list of all the units involved. Both individual and interdisciplinary infrastructure and startup support will be provided with this new position.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in cyber security and privacy and be on an upward leadership trajectory in these areas. They will have research impact as reflected in high-quality publications and the ability to build a well-funded research program. In particular, we are looking for a team player who can help bring together current campus efforts in cyber security or privacy, and someone who will work at the intersection of several areas, addressing the policy, regulatory or social science aspects with a focus on one or more of the following topics: a) privacy laws and regulation; b) social media; c) cybercrimes; d) cyberwarfare; e) cyber security and intelligence. With this in mind, we anticipate the selected candidate will be tenure-earning in one of, but not limited to, the following units: Criminal Justice; Legal Studies; Modeling, Simulation, and Training; Politics, Security, and International Affairs; or Sociology.

We encourage you to learn more about one of UCF’s newest endeavors, the exciting Faculty Cluster Initiative, at https://www.ucf.edu/faculty/faculty-research-clusters.

The selected candidate must also have a record of high impact research (or the potential for such) related to cyber security and privacy demonstrated by a strong scholarly and/or funding record.

Preferred Qualifications:

A history of working with teams, especially teams that span multiple disciplines.

At Georgia Southern, visiting instructors normally teach fifteen credit hours per semester and hold regular office hours. All visiting instructors are non-tenure track, academic year appointments for one year only, with the possibility of reappointment to a second year, based upon funding availability and satisfactory performance.

Georgia Southern University is a distinctive combination of Southern charm and uncompromising academics.

Throughout its degree offerings at the associate’s, bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral levels, Georgia Southern cultivates community collaboration, world-class scholarship and hands-on learning opportunities.

Georgia Southern University was founded in 1906 as a school for teaching modern agricultural production techniques and homemaking skills to rural school children. Its Savannah campus was established in 1935 as Armstrong Junior College for local youth who could not afford to attend college away from home. The Liberty Center in Hinesville was established in 1998 to serve the military and their families at nearby Fort Stewart, the largest military base east of the Mississippi. All three locations came together in 2018 when Armstrong State University and Georgia Southern University consolidated. The “new” Georgia Southern University preserves a passion for serving its neighbors while preparing students for lifelong service as scholars, leaders, and responsible stewards of their communities.

Believing that diversity, equity, and inclusion contribute to excellence in the workplace and to the quality of the University’s academic environment, Georgia Southern University is committed to recruiting and retaining diverse faculty and staff to support, promote, and serve a diverse student body and promote Inclusive Excellence.
