Lancaster University is investing £19m to recruit up to 33 of the best and most creative academics to tackle a wide range of societal and technological security challenges around cybersecurity. Join us as we build a community of academics dedicated to helping keep nations, organisations and citizens safe and secure.

• Work together to offer a distinctive research capability that creates new approaches to cyber security and improved understanding of its social and economic impact, and that is recognised as a beacon of internationally excellent research.
• Benefit from an outstanding research culture and new world-class facilities to support cyber-security, data and protection science.
• Engage with our regional and national partners to help consolidate Lancaster as a leader in security and protection science.

We are currently recruiting for multiple positions at Lecturer, Senior Lecturer and Professorial level. Candidates must be able to clearly demonstrate how they can contribute to Lancaster’s new and emerging programme of teaching and research in security and protection science.
