[Asis-l] USF SI seeks Cyber Intelligence Faculty

[JungWon Yoon]

The School of Information at the University of South Florida (Tampa)
seeks applications for a full-time faculty position at the assistant
professor level.  A tenure track appointment is possible for the
properly qualified candidate.   In Fall, 2014, the School of
Information will begin enrollment for a new online master's program
(MS) in information studies with a focus on strategy and information
analytics.  The MS program will have a formal concentration available
in Cyber Intelligence.  This new position will support that
concentration and will be a core member of the MS program faculty.

The MS in Information Studies with a Focus on Strategy and Information
Analytics will be an applied graduate degree program to train a “next
generation” of information and intelligence professionals for the
private and public sectors.   The program is built around an
innovative STEM-based model for professional analytic education.  The
curriculum will focus primarily on developing analytic competencies,
and subsequently allow students to focus on specialized subject-matter
areas.

The Cyber Intelligence concentration also articulates with a new MS in
Cybersecurity at USF, which is also scheduled to begin enrollment in
Fall 2014.  The Cyber Intelligence curriculum will provide a formal
concentration for that program as well.  The School of Information is
leading the "Cyber Intelligence" component, but this is part of a
larger set of exciting cybersecurity initiatives at USF.

We are seeking candidates with a deep understanding of intelligence
analytic methodology and at least some background/experience in
applying those methodologies to discern the capabilities, intentions,
and activities, of potential adversaries or competitors in the cyber
realm ("Cyber Intelligence").   Candidates are expected to demonstrate
enthusiasm for, and excellence in, teaching, as well as a significant
potential for scholarly productivity and external funding.
Responsibilities will also include student advising and mentoring, and
committee service at department, college, and university levels.
Candidates must have the ability to develop, teach, and integrate
emerging distance learning technologies into SI online courses.
Salaries are nationally competitive commensurate with the rank of
assistant professor and we offer a generous package for “start-up”
funding. The position is a nine-month appointment with the possibility
for summer teaching and research opportunities.

The following are the minimum and preferred qualifications of
potential candidates:

Minimum:

* Ph.D. (or other terminal degree) in a relevant discipline, such as
Information Science, Computer Science/Engineering, Operations
Research, Behavioral Sciences OR a Master’s degree with more than five
years of professional experience in intelligence analytic methodology
and/or cyber intelligence.

* Evidence of ability to engage in collaborative interdisciplinary research.

* Expertise in information analytics, strategic analytic
methodologies, open source intelligence collection/analysis, or other
similar areas.

learning technologies into online courses delivery

Preferred:

* Demonstrated potential for multidisciplinary research funding and

We will begin screening applications on January 21, 2014 and the
review process will continue until the positions are filled.
