Departmental Overview

The Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity (CLTC) is a premier research and collaboration hub dedicated to building secure digital futures.

Housed within the School of Information at the University of California, Berkeley, CLTC was founded in 2015 to build bridges between cutting-edge academic research and real-world industry and policy needs.

Our approach is built on two key pillars:
first, to focus on the future of digital security and second, to expand who participates in this field. Our public
- private partnerships, research programs, and outputs help decision
- makers act with foresight, and our students and alumni represent the next generation of leaders in cybersecurity technology, policy, research and practice.

CLTC is a pioneer in public interest cybersecurity and has a flagship program dedicated to empowering people and organizations on the frontlines of social change to defend themselves against online threats.

Our researchers have published and taught widely on the topic of digital security technical assistance, with a focus on activists, journalists, human rights organizations, and other public interest organizations at high risk of politically motivated cyberattack.

We built and launched the world's first public-interest cybersecurity clinic, the Citizen Clinic practicum.

Using a model similar to those in law and medicine, the Citizen Clinic trains teams of students to help organizations build the necessary capabilities to proactively defend themselves against malicious governments, powerful corporations, hate groups, and extremists.

The Membership Director supports the Consortium of Cybersecurity Clinics in assisting universities around the country and the world with cybersecurity workforce development and protecting vulnerable organizations from cyberattacks.

The Consortium will be growing its membership by 10-20 or more universities and colleges over the next several years.

This position works in close alignment with the Executive Committee of the Consortium of Cybersecurity Clinics, currently co-chaired by clinic leadership at the UC Berkeley Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

This is a fulltime, 2-year contract position with the possibility of extension and/or conversion to career.
