Position Description

The Department of Information Technology and Management (ITM) in the College of Computing at Illinois Institute of Technology (Illinois Tech) invite applications for tenure-track positions of the rank of assistant professor and full-time. 

The Department of Information Technology and Management offers Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in information technology and applied cybersecurity / digital forensics—with multiple specializations.

Illinois Institute of Technology is a private, Ph.D.-granting research university with world-renowned programs in architecture, engineering, computing, the sciences, humanities and social sciences, psychology, business, law, and design. It is ranked #1 in Illinois and #23 nationally in the Wall Street Journal's "America's Best Colleges 2024." Founded in 1890, Illinois Tech was built to provide access to higher education for students from all backgrounds and to make a difference in the world through technology-oriented education. This guiding mission and purpose – where students could prepare for meaningful roles in a changing society and achieve professional and economic advancement – remains just as relevant today. As such, diversity and inclusion are part of the day-to-day experience here and a central component of our culture. 

Tenure Track positions are at the rank of assistant professor; however, applicants for the rank of associate professor or professor will also be considered based on the candidate’s experience and scholarly record. Rank and salary will be competitive and commensurate with experience. The search is open to all fields in IT and computer science, and we particularly encourage applications in Artificial Intelligence, Data Science and Cybersecurity.  Applicants in Cybersecurity will also have a role in the IIT Center for Cybersecurity and Forensics Education (C2SAFE).

The successful candidate will teach undergraduate and graduate-level courses across the disciplines of information technology, cybersecurity, data science, AI and management. In addition, they will participate in assessment, advising, and course/curriculum development. Research and writing are keys for success in these faculty positions. Applicants should have the potential to collaboratively contribute to interdisciplinary curricular and scholarly efforts within the department as well as across the entire university, and to supervise master’s and Ph.D. level research students.

Applicants must have an earned research doctorate in a computing or related discipline at the start of the appointment and should have demonstrated significant research accomplishment and commitment to excellence in teaching and should have three to five years of IT industry experience. The candidate must have demonstrated success in research with a proven publication record in ACM/IEEE or similarly positioned journals and proceedings. A record of attracting external research funding appropriate to their rank is highly desirable. 

Illinois Tech has been designated as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education by the National Security Agency and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. The ITM Department is currently a community of over 200 undergraduate students, over 600 graduate students, 10 full-time faculty, and numerous visiting and adjunct faculty. 

Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until all positions are filled.
