Digital Security / Privacy Course Developer and Instructor (80-100%) - EPFL Extension School

Your mission :

The EPFL Extension School is looking for an experienced digital security / privacy professional to join our team as a course developer and instructor. The course developer will be responsible for the creation of course content, production of video and online learning materials (including lessons, quizzes, exams), supporting learners through 1 to 1 video-based tuition, support forum as well as for their course and project work, management of relationships with course presenters and industry partners, and general contributions to the overall development and success of the EPFL Extension School. This is not a security / operational job, but a content development and teaching role, with a focus on security, privacy and trust.

The audience for these courses extends to a large, general public and the knowledge level of the learners will range from novice (no prior experience) to intermediate (strong familiarity, possibly but not necessarily university or post-graduate level knowledge).

You understand and can apply professional cybersecurity vocabulary and practices. You also have proficiency using common desktop and mobile operating systems.

Any experience with implementing cybersecurity practices in industry is a definite plus.
