The School of Computing Science at Newcastle University has been awarded the status of Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Research by GCHQ/EPSRC and is investing significantly in its research in cyber security and cybercrime. A lectureship position is associated with this professorial post and once a Professor has been appointed, we will work with them to appoint a lecturer in the field.

The research in cyber security in Newcastle has recently received significant research grants and has particular strengths in interdisciplinary and crime research. To continue building these research strengths, we are looking for an outstanding computer scientist with an excellent track record of research leadership in an area related to cyber security and cybercrime. This includes, computer security, computer and cyber forensics, cybercrime and human factors of security and privacy.

The School of Computing Science at Newcastle University is one of the strongest computer science Schools in the UK and in the 2014 REF was ranked 1st in the UK for the economic and social impact of its research. With an exciting, £58m development new building in Science Central and two centres for doctoral training, providing one hundred PhD students in the coming five years, including topics relevant to security, this is a great time to join the School.
