Lancaster University invites applications for one post of Assistant Professor (Lecturer) in Computer Science to join at its exciting new campus in Leipzig, Germany. Located in one of Germany’s most vibrant, livable, and attractive cities, the Leipzig campus offers the same high academic quality and fully rounded student experience as in the UK, with a strong strategic vision of excellence in teaching, research, and engagement.

The position is to support the upcoming MSc programme in Cyber Security, and to complement the department’s current research strengths. You are expected to have solid research foundations and a strong commitment in teaching Cyber Security topics such as Cybercrime, Information System Risk Management, or Information System Security Management.

You should have a completed PhD degree and demonstrated capabilities in teaching, research, and engagement in the areas of Cyber Security. You should be able to deliver excellent teaching at graduate and undergraduate level, pursue your own independent research, and develop publications in high quality academic journals or conferences. You are expected to have a suitable research track record of targeting high quality journals or a record of equivalent high-quality research outputs.

Colleagues joining LU Leipzig’s computer science department will benefit from a very active research team, but will also have access to the research environment at the School of Computing and Communications in the UK. We offer a collegial and multidisciplinary environment with enormous potential for collaboration and work on challenging real-world problems especially.

German language skills are not a prerequisite for the role, though we are seeking applicants with an interest in making a long-term commitment to Lancaster University in Leipzig.
