The successful candidate will help shape the Cybersecurity program and related certifications, keeping pace with emerging security challenges and industry demands.

For both positions, responsibilities will include developing and revising curriculum, implementing innovative teaching methods, and supporting students through mentorship, academic advising, and student success initiatives. Faculty members will collaborate with industry partners to enhance student pathways, support program completion, and ensure career readiness.
