Defending Electronic Frontiers: PhD Fellowships in Information Assurance

SFS奖学金计划在加州尔湾大学正在努力吸引，招聘，指导和毕业有才华的国内博士生在信息保障（IA），并促进他们的职业生涯在国家服务。加州大学欧文分校的信息与计算机科学学院拥有一批非常广泛和全面的专业和世界知名的IA教师，他们拥有全面的培训和成功的IA博士生学位后安置的记录。该计划提供支持，以扩大ICS国内学生谁是感兴趣的国家服务的数量。ICS研究生IA轨道的跨学科性质使学生不仅接触到计算机和信息科学的主题，而且还接触到数学和伦理/法律的主题。作为第一个仅针对博士生的SFS奖学金计划，加州大学欧文分校正在培养IA专家，他们将担任学术研究大使，并将帮助在学术机构和联邦部门之间建立新的并加强现有的桥梁。这将带来更多的合作，思想和创新的交流，以及从纯学术到现实世界的更快的技术转移。

The SFS Scholarship Program at the University of California Irvine is working to attract, recruit, mentor and graduate talented domestic PhD students in Information Assurance (IA), and to foster their careers in the national service. The program emphasizes the recruitment of women and students from under-represented groups into the doctoral program.The School of Information and Computer Sciences at UC Irvine is home to an exceptionally broad and well-rounded set of dedicated and world-renowned IA faculty members who have a track record of comprehensive training and successful post-degree placement of IA PhD students. This program is providing the support to expand the number of domestic students at ICS who are interested in national service. The inter-disciplinary nature of the ICS graduate IA track exposes students not only to topics Computer and Information Sciences, but also to topics in Mathematics and Ethics/Law. As the first SFS scholarship program focused solely on doctoral students, UC Irvine is producing IA experts who will serve as ambassadors of academic research and will help build new, and strengthen existing, bridges between academic institutions and the federal sector. This will engender increased collaboration, exchange of ideas and innovations as well as faster technology transfer from the purely academic to the real-world setting.
