The Department of Computer Science at Old Dominion University is seeking two full-time tenure-track faculty members with expertise in the areas of cybersecurity, AI, machine learning, and related areas.

The appointments will be at the Assistant Professor rank with an anticipated start date of July 2024.
The selected candidates are expected to collaborate in teaching and research with Old Dominion University's School of Cybersecurity and/or the School of Data Science.

A vibrant graduate program enrolls 260 graduate students (75 Ph.D. and 185 M.S.) and the undergraduate program has more than 800 majors. Excellent collaborative research opportunities are available at ODU's School of Cybersecurity, School of Data Science, and at nearby NASA Langley Research Center, DoE's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, National Institute of Aerospace, Eastern Virginia Medical School and Sentara Hospital with state-of-the-art operating room suite for image guided surgery, and the Virginia Modeling Analysis and Simulation Center.
