The Max Planck Institute for Cybersecurity and Privacy offers additional possibilities for collaboration.
The responsibilities of the future chair holder include participation in teaching in the IT security and computer science study programs. The prerequisites are excellent scientific qualifications, usually proven by a doctorate of outstanding quality, positive evaluation as a junior professor, habilitation or equivalent academic achievement, top international publications, as well as proof of particular suitability for academic teaching. Also required is the willingness to participate in academic self-administration.
Furthermore, we expect:
- a high level of commitment to teaching,

- profound leadership experience,
- the willingness and proven ability to submit significant third-party funded research projects or the willingness to participate in existing research collaborations.
At RUB, we are committed to promote the careers of women and people of color in the areas in which they are underrepresented.
