Network Security Job Openings at UC Irvine

[Josh Drummond <jdrummon () UCI EDU>]

Greetings,

We are recruiting for two network security positions here at University of California at Irvine, minutes away from the 
warm west coast beach and beautiful Newport Back Bay, or an hour from the big city life in L.A. and surrounding 
snowcapped mountains if that's what you prefer.   One position is focused more on IDS/IPS and incident response while 
the other on firewall/vpn management (Cisco ASA) but there is a lot of overlap between the two and they both report 
into the IT Security team in our Office of Information Technology and serve critical roles for our university.  Full 
descriptions and links below:

incident response team help investigate the cause of and quickly mitigate potential network security breaches, help

for network security engineering and architecture, helping implement where appropriate; communication of security
