Hi all, My college just posted the open-rank search below. Please share with your colleagues. We take a wide approach to ‘cybersecurity’ that includes many issues of adversarial design in domains such as as harassment, war, and misinformation and approaches such as RCTs, ethnographies, and policy case studies. I am not on the committee but happy to discuss the college, the position, or otherwise connect people to the committee. Cheers, Dan University of Maryland College of Information Studies Open Rank Tenure / Tenure-Track Faculty (Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Professor) Best Consideration Date: 12/9/2019 To Apply: http://ejobs.umd.edu/postings/74571 <http://ejobs.umd.edu/postings/74571> 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.
