San Jose State University seeks to dramatically expand its faculty working in the area of cyber security/data science by hiring a cluster of five new faculty members. The university seeks people who are able to initiate and participate in interdisciplinary collaborations in the area of cyber security or data science, and who are skilled researchers and teachers in one of five areas: Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Library and Information Science, Management Information Science, or Psychology.
As part of this initiative the School of Library and Information Science (SLIS) is looking for a faculty member with a focus in either information assurance/information integrity or large data sets/information visualization. The successful applicant will teach online classes for SLIS and conduct research, build online interdisciplinary certificates, and develop fundable research proposals with colleagues in the cybersecurity and data science clusters in the University.
A successful applicant focused primarily in the area of information assurance/information integrity will teach online classes and conduct research with cluster faculty members in one or more of the following areas:
¡ñ Protection of records and archives via trusted digital repositories that ensure the accuracy, reliability, and authenticity (i.e., identity and integrity) of records in the cloud and records delivered via mobile devices
¡ñ Information risk analysis, management, and compliance of digital records
¡ñ Sustainability of digital records
¡ñ Privacy and freedom of information
¡ñ Encryption management strategies
¡ñ Recovery and disaster techniques including disaster planning
A successful applicant focused primarily in the area of large data sets/information visualization will teach online classes and conduct research with cluster faculty members in one or more of the following areas:
¡ñ Analysis of unstructured and machine generated data from social media (e.g., Facebook and Twitter)
¡ñ Information visualization to help users gain new and deeper knowledge from complex information
¡ñ Tagging of data for ease of analysis and findability
¡ñ Metadata systems, architectures, and applications
¡ñ Semantic networks and linked data
¡ñ Data analytics
¡ñ Text/data mining
¡ñ Pattern recognition
We require an earned doctorate; a strong record of scholarly and professional achievement; and an excitement and enjoyment for teaching and working online.
