The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) has embarked on a focused
cluster hiring plan under the Gold Star Initiative, to recruit top-tier 
researchers over a four year period. The plan will focus on strategic 
areas of research excellence, to include cybersecurity, cloud computing 
and data analytics. UTSA is currently looking for candidates to fill 
six faculty positions to foster collaborative research, education and
outreach and to create interdisciplinary areas of knowledge that will
advance the field of cybersecurity.

UTSA is a recognized leader in the field of infrastructure assurance 
and security by the National Security Agency and the Department of 
Homeland Security and is a designated Center of Academic Excellence in
Information Assurance Education (CAE). In spring 2014, UTSA was ranked
#1 nationally for Cyber Security Programs according to a national 
survey of certified information technology security professionals 
conducted for Hewlett-Packard. UTSA is home to the Institute for Cyber
Security (ICS), which conducts basic and applied cybersecurity research
in partnership with academia, government and industry. The Center for
Infrastructure Assurance and Security (CIAS), also located at UTSA, has
developed the world's foremost center for multidisciplinary education
and development of operational capabilities in the areas of 
infrastructure assurance and security. In complement to the ICS and 
CIAS, the Center for Education and Research in Information and 
Infrastructure Security (CERI2S) conducts high impact research, as well
as educates the cybersecurity workforce within the San Antonio area
and beyond. In partnership with Rackspace, UTSA houses the largest open
cloud infrastructure in academia. The Open Cloud Institute is an 
initiative to develop degree programs in cloud computing and foster 
collaboration with industry, positioning UTSA and San Antonio as world
leaders in open cloud technology.
