Washington State University (WSU) in Everett, WA has started a new research and education program to meet burgeoning demand for computer scientists with expertise in cybersecurity. This initiative is supported by $2 million in Washington state funding. We invite applications for a 9-month academic year, full-time, career-track teaching faculty in the broad area of computer science at the Assistant Professor level. The position will be considered for a 2-year fixed-term appointment with renewal contingent upon performance. Some specific areas include but are not limited to systems/application security, privacy-preserving computing, applied cryptography, formal methods for security, security of machine learning systems, machine learning for security, hardware security, IoT and cyber-physical systems security, differential privacy, and applied cryptography. The successful candidate will be expected to implement evidence-based pedagogy in undergraduate computer science and computer engineering education to support our cybersecurity, computer science, computer engineering, and software engineering degrees. The new faculty will have numerous collaboration opportunities with several large initiatives within the WSU system including but not limited to the WSU-PNNL Advanced Grid Institute (AGI), DOD-funded CySER Institute for cybersecurity, and NSF-USDA AgAID AI Institute. The job duties will include primarily teaching undergraduate courses in cybersecurity, computer science, and computer engineering; participating in the continuous teaching assessment activities of the unit and campus; effectively communicating and interacting with students; and collaborating with others within the unit, the University, or other organizations including regional partners such as the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
