POSITION DESCRIPTION
The U.S. Naval Academy’s Computer Science Department invites
applications for up to three new tenure track positions. Appointments at
all ranks will be considered. These positions are anticipated to begin
in August 2013. A Ph.D. in Computer Science or closely related field is
required.
Applicants with teaching and research interests in cyber security and
information assurance are especially encouraged to apply, and all
applicants must have a dedication to teaching undergraduates, an ability
to teach a broad range of cyber security, information assurance, and
computer science courses, and the ability to initiate and maintain a
strong research program.
The Computer Science Department offers majors in Computer Science and
Information Technology, and is developing a new major in Cyber Security.
We currently have 100 CS majors, 70 IT majors and a faculty of 21. In
addition to CS and IT courses for the majors, we also teach a course on
cyber security to the entire freshman class. This course is part of an
ongoing initiative to strengthen cyber security as a discipline in the
academy’s academic program. This academy-wide initiative also includes a
new Center for Cyber Security Studies and support for internships,
faculty and student research, new courses, and other programs.
The department is housed in a state of the art building overlooking the
scenic Severn River. Our spaces provide outstanding office, laboratory,
and research facilities for both students and faculty, including
specialized labs for information assurance, networking, and robotics, as
well as three micro-computing labs and two high performance computing
labs.
The Naval Academy is an undergraduate institution located in historic
downtown Annapolis, Maryland on the Chesapeake Bay. Roughly half of the
faculty are tenured or tenure track civilian professors with Ph.D.s who
balance teaching excellence with internationally recognized research
programs. The remaining faculty are active duty military officers with
Masters or Doctoral degrees. Each year the academy graduates roughly
1000 undergraduate students with majors in the sciences, engineering,
and humanities. More information about the department and the Academy
can be found at http://www.usna.edu/cs/ and http://www.usna.edu/
HOW TO APPLY FOR POSITION
Applicants should send a cover letter, teaching and research statements,
curriculum vitae, and arrange for three letters of recommendation that
address both teaching and research abilities to be sent to cssearch@usna.edu.
Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until
the positions are filled.
