Open Rank Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor in Digital Security

University of California Berkeley

Application Deadline: Nov 16, 2025 at 11:59pm (Pacific Time)

The School of Information at the University of California, Berkeley,  invites applications for appointment to the faculty at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor rank.

Digital technologies have extraordinary capacity to improve the quality of human life, enrich personal and social interactions, boost economic productivity, solve large scale societal problems from mass transportation to public health, and more. Over the last decade, however, it has become clear that the human and social components of the overall systems are rate-limiting factors in those transformations. What is needed now and for the foreseeable future is attention to the security, safety, and trust dimensions that emerge when people interact with digital technologies.

We seek applications from scholars who work to address this intersection directly. An ideal candidate will have some core technical foundation, but will be working with technology to address other parts of the security, safety, and trust system that depends on people and institutions as much as it does on technology. This includes areas like trusted/trustworthy algorithms and algorithmic decision making. We particularly seek candidates whose research in the broad area of cybersecurity positions them to work closely with or help lead the Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity.
