Hi everyone, it's professor Birger. It looks like you all got a fake email this morning about a job opportunity. I believe it is a phishing email that originated outside of UMBC. The phone number is one that has been used in multiple similar phishing emails that UMBC students have received in the past.
If the department had job openings, we would post them on the myUMBC page, and you would get an email like this, or you might hear about them directly from your professors. If the university had a job opening it would be posted on the jobs website on the UMBC HR page. This one did look very convincing, the phishers are getting more and more sophisticated. It is always good to check with us if you receive something questionable, and thank you to those of you that emailed me this morning!
