Associate Professor in Cybersecurity
Department of Computer Science, Virginia Tech
National Capital Region

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. See www.cs.vt.edu/FacultySearch for additional
information.

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.

CS at VT (www.cs.vt.edu) has 35 tenure-track research oriented faculty
including 12 NSF CAREER award winners, Ph.D. production among the top

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.
