John Jay is proud to serve a diverse and dynamic student body of 15,000 students that includes nearly fifty percent students who are first in their family to attend college, as well as students who are immigrants, from low-income families, or from other historically underrepresented groups.

The College participates in the doctoral programs of the Graduate Center of the City University of New York and offers bachelor's and master's degrees in traditional criminal justice-related fields of study, as well as in a robust portfolio of liberal arts and sciences programs that highlight themes of justice across the arts, sciences, humanities, and social sciences.

POSITION OVERVIEW

The John Jay College of Criminal Justice Department of Security, Fire, and Emergency Management invites security experts to apply for a tenure-track position. The Department brings together three allied fields of study: fire science, emergency management, and security. The integration of these three disciplines provides the basis for establishing the essential safety and security needs in today's world. The position begins in Fall 2022.

Suitable candidates with a focus on physical and logical security are encouraged to apply. Advanced knowledge of digital forensics and data analytics would also be a plus for the position.

The successful candidate will perform teaching, research, and guidance duties in their area(s) of expertise, including teaching in the Undergraduate Security Major and the MS programs in Security Management and Protection Management. Applicants must demonstrate that they can teach core courses in these programs. They also share responsibility for committees and assignments within the Department, including administrative, supervisory, and other functions. The successful candidate must be eager and qualified to work with our diverse student body and demonstrate a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. As shown in John Jay College's Seven Principles for a Culturally Responsive, Inclusive, and Anti-Racist Curriculum (http://www.jjay.cuny.edu/sites/default/files/u1862/principles_for_a_culturally_responsive_inclusive_and_antiracist_curriculum_adopted_by_college_council_april8_2021.pdf), the College seeks a faculty member who thrives in a multicultural, collaborative academic environment and is committed to both access and excellence in higher education.
