JOB POSTING
UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND COLLEGE OF INFORMATION STUDIES

Assistant/Associate/Full Professor (Open Rank)
Sociotechnical Approaches to Cybersecurity
Tenure Track Full Time Faculty

Position Summary/Purpose of Position:

A socio-technical approach to cybersecurity recognizes that to protect our
information and critical infrastructure we must consider human, social,
organizational, economic, institutional, and technical factors, as well as
the complex interactions among them. Creating, maintaining, operating
infrastructural systems that are resilient in the face of threats that
include malicious attacks, random vandalism, natural disasters, and
information warfare necessarily requires fundamental advances in our
understanding of the socio-technical aspects of cybersecurity.

The College of Information Studies at the University of Maryland, College
Park (Maryland’s iSchool), invites applications for a tenure-track
Assistant Professor, or tenured Associate Professor or Professor position
in socio-technical aspects of cybersecurity. The successful candidate will
engage in an active program of high-impact research; provide research
advising to students at all levels; develop courses and teach in the
College’s undergraduate, graduate, and non-degree programs; and engage in
service to the profession and shared governance within the university.

About UMD and the iSchool:

Founded in 1856, University of Maryland, College Park is the state’s
flagship institution. Our 1,250-acre College Park campus is just minutes
away from Washington, D.C., and the nexus of the nation’s legislative,
executive, and judicial centers of power. This unique proximity to business
and technology leaders, federal departments and agencies, and a myriad of
research entities, embassies, think tanks, cultural centers, and non-profit
organizations is simply unparalleled. Synergistic opportunities for our
faculty and students abound and are virtually limitless in the nation’s
capital and surrounding areas. The University is committed to attracting
and retaining outstanding and diverse faculty and staff that will enhance
our stature of preeminence in our three missions of teaching, scholarship,
and full engagement in our community, the state of Maryland, and in the
world.

As one of the top graduate programs in library and information studies in
the U.S., UMD’s iSchool seeks a candidate who will build upon the iSchool’s
record of educating librarians committed to leadership, service, research,
and innovative practice and impact in the field. We encourage candidates to
demonstrate how their research contributes toward social justice and
equity, diversity and inclusion, or ethical access to information.

Founded more than 50 years ago with a specific commitment to advancing
social justice, the iSchool enrolls over 1,300 students in five degree
programs: Ph.D. in Information Studies, Master of Library and Information
Science (MLIS), Master of Information Management (MIM), Master of Science
in Human Computer Interaction (HCIM), and Bachelor of Science in
Information Science (InfoSci). Faculty members across these programs take
advantage of our interdisciplinary environment through their teaching and
collaborative research. These programs are offered in the classroom at
College Park and Shady Grove campuses, online, and in blended formats. Many
members of our faculty hold joint or affiliate appointments with other
campus units, including Anthropology, Business, Education, Engineering,
English, Geographical Sciences, Journalism, Survey Methodology, Public
Health, the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH), and
the Institute for Advanced Computer Studies (UMIACS)

Minimum Qualifications:

The successful candidate will have a strong interest in research and
teaching related to socio-technical aspects of cybersecurity. Within this
broad domain are a wide range of specific topics, methodological
approaches, theoretical perspectives, and disciplines. We welcome
applications from scholars interested in any socio-technical aspect of
cybersecurity who are working with research grounded in theory, rooted in
empirical methods, and producing broadly applicable and transferable
results that augment policy, knowledge, and practice.

We seek exceptional candidates with high quality research and publication
records in interdisciplinary fields that include or blend social and
behavioral sciences, economics, science and technology studies, law,
communications, informatics, information systems, and/or computer science.
A Ph.D. or equivalent degree is required at the time of appointment.
