Instructor/Assistant/Associate Professor of IT Networking and Cybersecurity
SUNY Adirondack is a teaching- and learning-centered community college that fosters a diverse and equitable learning environment for students of all ages, backgrounds, goals and learning styles. The college, a member of the State University of New York, is located in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains, one hour north of Albany and 30 minutes from Saratoga Springs. Our size is intimate, with only 4,000 full- and part-time students, yet we offer more than 30 unique academic programs that prepare students for both work and transfer to four-year colleges. A bachelor's degree is attainable on campus through our SUNY Plattsburgh extension center. While many of our students are first-generation college educated and from rural areas in upstate New York, we are excited by the influx of students from downstate and out of state who can live in our 400-bed residence hall.
With interactive classroom instruction and one-on-one guidance outside of class, our faculty and staff are committed to personal and public transformation through education, with an emphasis on critical and creative thinking. With a population of 23 percent returning adults and 15 percent people of color, SUNY Adirondack maintains a deep commitment to diversity and inclusion and to the welfare of its growing multicultural student body.
