CoP-CD Faculty Opportunities Initiative
The aim of this CoP-CD initiative is to help advertise open faculty positions from CAE schools so that potential applicants can easily find positions that meet their qualifications and interests. Colleges and Universities with current faculty searches are encouraged to submit their search criteria to assist job seekers to find positions that meet their qualifications, interests, and quality of life choices.
​
This CoP-CD initiative will provide a platform for students and recent graduates in cybersecurity, computing, artificial intelligence, or closely related fields who are interested in obtaining a faculty member academic position in one of the NCAE-C designated institutions around the nation to easily search for open positions. Moreover, professionals from various industries and government agencies who have the credentials needed (varies by state and school) and seek to teach cybersecurity at one of the NCAE-C designated institutions are welcome to search, as many schools value industry and government experience as part-time faculty who provide students with experience of real-world applications.. Additionally, academics who are currently faculty members around the nation who are seeking additional adjunct faculty overload opportunities, are allowed by their current institution, and have the capacity to serve as adjuncts (either locally in their area or online) are also encouraged to search for opportunities.​

Stay tuned for updates and amazing news from this initiative.
