• AI/ML system security — securing AI pipelines, model and data security, agentic AI risk
• Incident response, threat detection, and security operations
• Policy, regulatory, and ethical dimensions of cybersecurity and AI governance

Qualifications

• Master's degree in cybersecurity, computer science, or a related field required; doctorate a strong plus
• At least one recognized industry certification required (e.g., CISSP, CISM, CRISC, CCSP, or equivalent — certifications in AI security/governance are a plus)
• Minimum 10 years of relevant professional experience in cybersecurity, security engineering, or security governance
• Prior curriculum advisory is a plus but not required
