The University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) Department of 
Mathematics and Statistics invites applications for an open-rank faculty 
member, as related to cybersecurity (broadly defined), to begin in 
August 2025. The appointment is 9 months per year. Candidates should 
have finished their PhD in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, 
or an appropriately related field before their appointment start date. A 
successful candidate should have a strong background in relevant 
mathematical and statistical methods and possess research synergy with 
current faculty members. Research interests including, but not limited 
to, data science and machine learning in cybersecurity, as well as 
quantum computation and encryption in cybersecurity, are desirable. We 
seek candidates who will establish vigorous, externally funded research 
programs and contribute to diversity and excellence in departmental 
teaching, mentoring, and service.

This position is part of a multi-year, campus-wide, and state-supported

which today comprises over thirty faculty members from six departments 
across all of the colleges at UMBC. UCI-affiliated faculty members will 
have a tenure/tenure-track appointment in their respective departments 
and will be expected to collaborate across disciplines and participate 
in a cohort of faculty members in the rapidly growing, interdisciplinary 
field of cybersecurity.

Applicants should submit (a) a concise cover letter; (b) a curriculum 
vitae (including a list of publications); (c) a statement of research;
