The School of Information at UC Berkeley welcomes applications for a full‐time, non‐tenure‐track position at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Adjunct Professor level, with an expected start date of July 1, 2021 in the area of Cybersecurity. This faculty member will teach in, help further build, and be an integral part of the Master of Information and Cybersecurity (MICS) program (https://ischoolonline.berkeley.edu/cybersecurity/), and will conduct research on issues connected to the policy, business, economics, or usability of cybersecurity.

The position will include teaching in our online Master's program in Information and Cybersecurity, including a clinical cybersecurity practicum; service related to the further development, evaluation, and delivery of the Cybersecurity program and courses; research collaboration particularly with the Center for Long Term Cybersecurity; and participation in the intellectual community at the School of Information and on the Berkeley campus.

The Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity (CLTC) is a premier research and collaboration hub dedicated to building secure digital futures. It was founded in 2015 to build bridges between academic research communities, corporations, government policy makers/regulators, and civil society, and to envision solutions that enable the potential of digital technologies to advance and protect institutions, societies, and individuals. CLTC built and launched the world's first public-interest cybersecurity clinic and is affiliated with the UC Berkeley School of Information.
