Schemes of Service: Professional Officers Division: Professional Officers Employment Type: Fixed Term Academic Staff Positions in Cybersecurity Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) invites applications for Academic Staff positions in Cybersecurity. We are building a modern cybersecurity capability that brings together applied learning, competency-based education, translational research, and close partnership with industry. We welcome outstanding candidates across the breadth of cybersecurity, and we are especially interested in colleagues who can help SIT build stronger capability in Threat Operations. Appointment may be made at a rank aligned with experience and profile. Academic Staff positions in SIT comprises of both Faculty and Professional Officers. They play distinctive yet complementary roles in advancing SIT’s mission in education and applied research. Faculty provide academic leadership in the design, delivery, and continual enhancement of programmes, ensuring academic rigour and industry relevance, while Professional Officers, as technical specialists, embed current and emerging industry practices and support practice-oriented delivery. Together, they strengthen SIT’s applied learning environment through hands-on, real-world approaches that enhance students’ industry readiness. In applied research, faculty lead translational research and innovation in collaboration with industry, bridging knowledge creation with practical application, while Professional Officers contribute deep technical expertise and industry experience to translate concepts into implementation, prototyping and deployment, thereby ensuring impactful and industry-relevant outcomes. Why join SIT SIT is Singapore’s first University of Applied Learning and the University for Industry. Our students learn in authentic environments, work on real problems with external partners, and undertake substantial workplace learning through the Integrated Work Study Programme. Our approach to education is explicitly competency-based, with a focus on demonstrated capability, workplace relevance, and flexible pathways for learners. At SIT, we welcome both academic candidates, and practitioner-academics with substantial industry, government, or operational cybersecurity experience. Candidates should be able to translate their expertise into rigorous teaching, authentic learning experiences, applied scholarship, translational work, and industry relevant outcomes and impact. Areas of interest in cybersecurity We welcome applicants with expertise in one or more areas across the cybersecurity spectrum, and are especially interested in candidates whose work can strengthen the university’s capability in Threat Operations. Relevant areas include threat detection and analysis, threat hunting, technical investigations, incident response, adversary tradecraft, operational threat intelligence, security operations, and detection engineering. We also welcome applicants working in areas that strengthen operational cyber defence, such as purple teaming, red teaming, AI for security, security automation, adversary emulation, and cyber range or validation environments. Applications from outstanding candidates across the wider cybersecurity spectrum remain strongly welcome. Key Responsibilities You will contribute to SIT’s mission through a combination of teaching, curriculum development, applied scholarship, and external engagement in the area of cybersecurity. Depending on rank and profile, responsibilities may include teaching undergraduate, postgraduate, and continuing education learners designing modules, labs, case-based learning, and authentic assessments supervising capstone projects, industry-linked projects, and graduate students where appropriate contributing to programme development across pre-employment and continuing education offerings building applied research, translational work, or practice-based scholarship with external relevance developing partnerships with industry, government, and professional communities contributing to interdisciplinary initiatives across computing, engineering, AI, and other applied domains Teaching and educational contributions At SIT, strong teaching means building learning experiences that are hands-on, rigorous, and close to practice. That may include secure system design projects, digital forensics investigations, threat-hunting exercises, red-blue or purple-team style activities, malware analysis labs, incident response simulations, or projects shaped by real operational and sectoral constraints. Our educational model values authenticity, workplace relevance, and the ability to assess whether learners can perform, not only whether they can recall. You should be able to contribute to curriculum design, develop modern teaching materials, mentor students well, and work with colleagues to improve programmes over time. Experience with applied learning, competency-based education, workplace learning, or industry-based training will be valuable. Research / scholarly / translational contributions SIT values scholarship that moves beyond publication alone. We are interested in research and scholarly work that can be tested, translated, adopted, or used to solve real problems. This may take different forms: applied research with industry or government; translational work that leads to methods, tools, datasets, or deployable capabilities; practice-based scholarship grounded in operational experience; sector-facing evaluations; or interdisciplinary work that brings cybersecurity into real systems and real environments. The strongest candidates will show a clear line of sight between their expertise and tangible external value. Candidate profile / qualifications We welcome applications from candidates with strong academic, applied, or practice-oriented profiles.

A Research Fellow position is available for a highly motivated and talented researcher with a strong interest in high power fibre lasers to work on a project within the EPSRC Programme Grant on Smart Fibre-Optic High-Power Photonics (HiPPo). The HiPPo programme (https://www.hippo-laser.co.uk/) is focused on understanding how to control the properties of fibre lasers, to go beyond the “fixed” fibre lasers that are currently used in manufacturing and towards “smart” fibre lasers that are automatically reconfigured and optimised in real-time. The aim is to revolutionise manufacturing by developing the next generation of reconfigurable, scalable, resilient, power efficient, 'smart' fibre laser tools for modern day manufacturing. Our research vision for HiPPo includes the development of new smart fibre optic technologies that can handle high-power photonics applications. This includes the design and fabrication of novel fibre optic components and systems that can withstand high optical powers and enable new functionalities over a range of operating wavelengths. The primary objective of this specific project is to explore new approaches for power scaling of fibre lasers operating in the two-micron wavelength band to the kilowatt regime motivated by the needs of applications such as industrial laser processing. The project will involve close collaboration with other members of the HiPPo project team working on a range of topics in the field of high-power lasers. Applicants should have a PhD (or equivalent professional qualifications and experience) in Physics, Engineering or a related discipline. Applications will also be considered from candidates who are working towards or nearing completion of a relevant PhD qualification. Applicants should have excellent experimental and analytical skills preferably with experience in the design of fibre and/or solid-state lasers together with hands-on experience operating lasers in the multi-watt power regime. Informal enquiries are welcome and should be directed to Prof Andy Clarkson (Email: wac@orc.soton.ac.uk) As a university we aim to create an environment where everyone can thrive and are proactive in fostering a culture of inclusion, respect and equality of opportunity. We believe that we can only truly meet our objectives if we are reflective of society, so we are passionate about creating a working environment in which you are free to bring your whole self to work. With a generous holiday allowance as well as additional university closure days we are committed to supporting our staff and students and open to a flexible working approach. Please include a copy of your CV and a cover letter, detailing how your skills and experience match the requirements of the role, in your application.
