[Heng Xu]

The College of Information Sciences and Technology (IST) at the Pennsylvania State University invites applications for multiple tenured and tenure-track faculty positions in Security and Privacy. We seek exceptional candidates with a high quality research and publication record to strengthen and complement our existing research strengths.  We welcome applications from scholars at all ranks and with a variety of disciplinary backgrounds including computer and information sciences, social and behavioral sciences, and engineering.  We are seeking applicants from all areas of security and privacy, including emerging systems and applications (e.g., secure Internet of Things, secure mobile health), human factors, and the security and privacy aspects of Data Science (e.g., adversarial machine learning).  Successful candidates will be expected to develop an internationally competitive, externally funded research program, and contribute to graduate and undergraduate education and training. The College of IST has a strong, externally funded research program in Security and Privacy. Current research strengths include systems and software security, privacy, human factors (e.g., usability), game and control-theoretic analysis, and several cross-cutting areas. Our College has other world-class research groups in Human Centered Design and in Data Science, and we are eager to strengthen our collaborations with these groups.  Additional opportunities for research collaboration are offered by the Institute for Cyberscience, the Social Sciences Research Institute, and the Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences which serve as focal points for transformative research in areas of critical national priority. The College has a strong graduate program (with over 100 Ph.D. students), and a highly successful undergraduate program.
