Professor of Government (open rank) in Cybersecurity, Technology, and Society

Dartmouth College: School of Arts & Sciences: Social Sciences: Government



The Department of Government at Dartmouth College invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor in Cybersecurity, Technology, and Society. Although we anticipate hiring at the assistant professor level, candidates at the tenured associate and full professor level will also be considered. The Cyber Security Chair is one of three positions in a cluster hire in cybersecurity, Technology, and Society (the other two positions are in the Computer Science Department), and the successful applicant will have an opportunity to collaborate with other faculty in the cluster and to be a member of Dartmouth’s Institute for Security, Technology and Society. We will consider applicants working on a broad range of topics related to the intersection of cyber-technologies, domestic or international politics, and society.  Candidates may study questions such as how emerging digital technologies, social media and the internet affect critical democratic processes, contribute to political radicalization and extremism, enable foreign influence operations, undermine or protect privacy, contribute to repression and/or resistance to authoritarianism, enable new forms of conflict between groups or states, and/or are used to promote or counteract political misinformation.  Candidates might also study the national and international policies and regulations that states, firms, and international organizations use to address these or related issues. We encourage applicants who study these and similar questions to apply. Dartmouth is highly committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive population of students, faculty, and staff. We are especially interested in applicants who are able to work effectively with students, faculty, and staff from all backgrounds, including but not limited to: racial and ethnic minorities, women, individuals who identify with LGBTQ+ communities, individuals with disabilities, individuals from lower-income backgrounds, and/or first-generation college graduates. Applicants should state in their cover letter how their teaching, research, service, and/or life experiences prepare them to advance Dartmouth’s commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion.



Qualifications

Candidates must have a Ph.D. in Political Science or a related field. Although we anticipate hiring at the assistant professor level, candidates at the tenured associate and full professor level will also be considered.



Application Instructions

Applicants should submit a letter of interest, a CV, a writing sample, and three letters of recommendation. Applicants should state in their cover letter how their teaching, research, service, and/or life experiences prepare them to advance Dartmouth’s commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion.  Application materials should be submitted electronically to Interfolio.



The review of applications will begin on January 18, 2021, and will continue until the position is filled. Questions may be sent to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
