Dear Colleagues,
Computer Science department at Virginia Tech has a faculty position at the
associate professor rank on cybersecurity. Please see the ad below.
Regards,
Wenjing Lou
======================
The Department of Computer Science (CS at VT) at Virginia Tech seeks
applicants for a tenure-track faculty position in the area of
cybersecurity, at the associate professor rank, located on the campus of
Virginia Tech in the National Capital Region (NCR). The successful
candidate will contribute to the research and graduate programs in the NCR
and collaborate with faculty at Virginia Techs campus in Blacksburg, VA.
This position adds to the collaboration in cybersecurity between the
Department of Computer Science and the Bradley Department of Electrical and
Computer Engineering (ECE) at Virginia Tech.
Candidates should have research interests in systems and network security,
trustworthy systems, software security, information security and privacy,
or other topics relevant to national security and national critical
infrastructure. Ideal candidates combine cybersecurity with existing
departmental strengths in data analytics, human-computer interaction,
software engineering, high performance computing, and systems and networks.
Candidates should have a record in scholarship, leadership, and
interdisciplinary collaboration in cybersecurity commensurate with the
associate professor rank; demonstrated ability to contribute to teaching at
the graduate level in cybersecurity and related subjects; sensitivity to
issues of diversity in the campus community; established professional
network and experience in working with cybersecurity-related government
agencies and industry; and the skills needed to establish and grow a
research program involving groups from NCR and Blacksburg.
The department collaborates with ECE in the newly established Ted and Karyn
Hume Center for National Security and Technology (www.cnst.ictas.vt.edu)
and the NCR Program in Information Assurance with an associated Executive
Master's degree and a graduate certificate program. The National Capitol
Region campus (www.ncr.vt.edu) is located near the Washington D.C. area and
houses the Virginia Tech Research Center (www.ncr.vt.edu/arlington) in
Arlington, VA, enabling significant research opportunities in
cyber-security. The new facility is within walking distance of the NSF,
ONR, AFOSR, DARPA, and other agencies. There are rich opportunities in a
highly collaborative department with strengths in HCI, HPC, computational
biology and bioinformatics, data analytics, digital libraries, software
engineering, computational science, and CS education. Active
interdisciplinary research also explores cyberarts, digital government, and
problem solving environments. Opportunities exist for security and personal
health informatics in collaboration with the VT-Carilion Research
Institute. CS at VT is part of the College of Engineering (www.eng.vt.edu) in
a comprehensive research university with more than 26,000 students.
Salary for suitably qualified applicants is competitive and commensurate
with experience. Virginia Tech is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action
Institution. Applications from women and other underrepresented populations
in engineering are especially encouraged. Virginia Techs AdvanceVT program
(www.advance.vt.edu) supports the retention and advancement of female
faculty.
