Two Tenure-Track Assistant or Associate Professor Positions

Positions Overview

The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) is accepting applications for two tenure‑track Assistant/Associate Professor positions in the Department of Computer Science. We encourage all qualified candidates to apply and are especially interested in candidates with background in cyber security, networking, theory, or emerging areas of computer science.

Our students consist primarily of U.S. and international military officers seeking master’s degrees, U.S. civilians entering the Cyber Corps who already have bachelor’s degrees or higher and are seeking master’s degrees, and a few PhD students. We specialize in artificial intelligence, cyber security, networking, modeling and simulation, and data science.

Through research, we foster close collaboration with our military, civilian, and international counterparts, supported by state‑of‑the‑art national and international laboratories. NPS is located close to the technology hubs of the San Francisco Bay Area and is very well connected across the Department of Navy and U.S. defense agencies, with ample applied research and funding opportunities.

We seek to fill the positions as soon as possible and will begin reviewing applications on a rolling basis on April 01, 2026. In your application package include your CV, names of three references, and a sample of your published work. Discuss in your cover letter why you are interested in this position and comment on your initial research goals, teaching interests, and capabilities.

The appointment will be made at the Assistant or Associate level, depending upon the candidate’s seniority and experience.

• Must have a PhD in computer science or a related discipline.
• U.S. citizenship and must be eligible for a U.S. Secret clearance.
