• Demonstrated ability to teach undergraduate courses in cybersecurity, secure systems, or closely related areas
• Practical, applied, or industry experience in cybersecurity is a strong asset and may substitute for a PhD
• Experience with embedded systems or hardware–software interaction is a plus

Duties

• Teach three (3) courses per semester (or equivalent)
• Contribute to curriculum development in cybersecurity and related systems areas
• Participate in departmental service

Applications will be reviewed until the position is filled.
