Associate/Full Professor Tenure System
Michigan State University actively promotes a dynamic research and learning environment in which qualified individuals of differing perspectives and cultural backgrounds pursue academic goals with mutual respect and shared inquiry.
The School of Criminal Justice (SCJ) at Michigan State University invites applications for a 9-month tenure-system position at the Associate or Full Professor rank beginning August 16, 2025. This position is supported through Michigan State University’s Global Impact Initiative, designed to address global grand challenges and national priorities through the creation of over 100 new faculty positions in some of the most promising – and critical – fields of research. As such, this position is research focused, with a contract that is 80% research, 10% teaching (i.e., one course per academic year), and 10% service.
The candidate must demonstrate expertise in the area(s) of cybercrime and/or cyber-security. Preference will be given to candidates that can enhance existing areas of strength in two focus areas: 1) expertise in policing and policy issues related to the nexus of cybercrime, terrorism, and radicalization so as to improve the capacities of local, state, and federal agencies to respond to these threats; and 2) research on extremism, terrorism, and nation-state activities in online spaces, with particular emphasis on best practices for data collection to produce actionable intelligence. Preference will also be given to candidates with experience or aptitude for external funding and those with experience or aptitude for developing community/practitioner engaged research partnerships. However, all areas of research in the space of cybercrime and cybersecurity will be considered. A Ph.D. in criminology or criminal justice, or in another relevant field, such as economics, psychology, sociology, or computer science, is required. Candidates must have completed a Ph.D. prior to the position’s start date and must have demonstrated potential for excellence in teaching and research. Successful candidates are expected to have a strong record of scholarly publications. Prior experience with course development related to cybercrime and/or cyber-security is preferred.
