This position is intended to support University of Alabama research initiatives in the field of Cyber Security; the person hired will be expected to collaborate with other faculty and students across the college and university on research that will lead to external funding applications and publications.

Applicants must apply online at facultyjobs.ua.edu and include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, one or two representative research papers, and a list of at least three references with contact information.
