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

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

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.
