Lecturer for the Professional Bachelor's in Cyber Security with solid technical understanding

Are you passionate about cybersecurity, and would you use your technical knowledge to educate the cybersecurity professionals of the future?

Join a strong professional team that works purposefully to strengthen students' competencies and curiosity in cybersecurity. At Copenhagen Business Academy (EK) you get an exciting and developing job with a lot of independence and good opportunities to bring your experience into play and strengthen both your professional and pedagogical competences.

You will become part of a specialized and practically oriented education in development, where you together with skilled and experienced colleagues have the opportunity to influence the subject matter, teaching methods and collaboration with the industry.

The job

You will primarily teach on the professional bachelor program in cybersecurity. Depending on your profile, you may also contribute to research and development projects as well as teaching on EK’s other IT-security programs.

Our common goal is to create value for the students by strengthening their security awareness and technical competences. Through a practice-oriented approach you help the students achieve a holistic understanding of how theory and technology relate to each other, and how their knowledge can be translated into concrete value in practice.

Your central tasks will be to

• plan, conduct and evaluate practice-oriented teaching within cybersecurity and technical disciplines
• develop subjects, teaching programs and learning activities together with colleagues and based on technological development and industry needs
• advise students and contribute to a coherent, meaningful and motivating study environment
• participate in relevant research and development activities and build relationships with practice.

If you have several years of experience as an IT professional, the job provides a special opportunity to develop your communication skills, deepen your professional knowledge and refresh your technical competences.

You will be part of a teaching team that, together, plans the students’ learning journeys and shares knowledge about professionalism, didactics and practice. We value different professional backgrounds and perspectives, and knowledge sharing and collaboration are an important part of everyday life. At the same time you will be part of a large educational organization with many skilled and experienced colleagues across disciplines.

Cybersecurity education is still developing. You will therefore have a real opportunity to leave your mark on the development and implementation of the subjects and the education. Our ambition is to develop the education in pace with technological development and in close cooperation with the industry, focusing on both the professional and pedagogical aspects of teaching.

Your daily workplace is initially at EK’s campus on Nørrebro, where you become part of a vibrant study environment with modern teaching facilities.

Your background and competences

The right candidates may have different profiles. The decisive factor is that you are motivated to educate the cybersecurity professionals of the future and can translate your technical knowledge into relevant and engaging teaching. If you have limited practical experience, it is important that you are keen to translate theoretical knowledge into practice-based teaching.

We emphasize that you

• have a relevant education and experience within one or more technical areas, for example cybersecurity, Python programming, computer architecture, software security, network security, cryptography, security operations or OT security
• can create clear links between theory, technology and practical problems
• communicate clearly and can make complex technical material understandable and applicable for students
• thrive working independently while actively contributing to the team’s joint tasks
• are eager to develop both your professional areas and your teaching skills.

Teaching experience is an advantage but not a requirement. If you have not previously taught, we provide support and an introduction to the teaching role. A relevant master's degree is an advantage.
