The Sustainable Cities Initiative (SCI) seeks a highly motivated, organized,
and action-oriented individual for a new non-tenure track faculty position
to develop and direct a coordinated research agenda for SCI, carry out
independent research, and connect and support others’ research as
appropriate to advance issues of interest to SCI.

SCI is a cross-disciplinary organization at the University of Oregon (UO)
that integrates research, education, service, and public outreach. Its
mission is to improve the design, development, and operation of cities and
to serve as a model for universities’ engagement in promoting sustainable
cities. SCI works at a variety of scales from large regions to individual
buildings. In addition to design, SCI addresses issues of policy,
governance, and the use and conservation of materials and energy, as well as
social aspects of sustainable cities.

SCI connects this work to students, scholars, funders, project partners, and
policy makers. Service learning is a key aspect of this work. Currently,
there are 10 different departments and programs actively involved, including
planning, architecture, landscape architecture, public policy, law,
business, arts administration, journalism, product design, civil
engineering, and economics. SCI is one of the UO’s five Big Ideas, which is
an internal program to identify and support key institutional priorities.

SCI’s multi-disciplinary approach is grounded in the belief that multiple
perspectives and areas of expertise are the key to addressing issues of
sustainability within our communities. SCI synthesizes existing faculty
research work under a single theme, and serves as a catalyst for expanded
research and teaching endeavors that result in applied, real world
solutions.

*PURPOSE OF THIS POSITION
*
The overall purpose of this new position is to lead the research endeavor of
SCI, which includes three main activities:

1. Developing a strategic research program for SCI;
2. Carrying out independent research, including securing funding; and
3. Working with other researchers to advance an integrated,
interdisciplinary, applied research agenda related to SCI focal areas.

This position will be directly managed by SCI’s Executive Director and will
also work closely with SCI’s Program Manager, Associate Directors,
communications staff, and with graduate student fellows who can assist with
some job responsibilities.

*JOB DUTIES
*
This position will involve:

- Developing, funding, and conducting applied research to support
sustainable city design, broadly defined, including the ability to support
the position on an ongoing basis beyond the initial contract period;
- Developing and managing SCI’s overall research program;
- Helping to position SCI research as a national leader;
- Cultivating relationships with an interdisciplinary set of potential
researchers across the University of Oregon, with colleagues at other
Oregon
institutions, and with partners at institutions across the country as
appropriate;
- Supervising students, as necessary, to help carry out and disseminate
research;
- Outreach to policy makers; and
- Development and dissemination of tools and resources to assist

- Ability to manage multiple projects and maintain overall program
mission.
- Ability to work cooperatively in an entrepreneurial, action-oriented
team environment.

leading the research effort for SCI. As a quickly growing, start-up
organization, all SCI team members must be able to lead in their own tasks
while looking for ways to interact and contribute to the other functions of
SCI. SCI is aggressively collaborative, and the candidate must be
interested in contributing to the whole while developing independent
leadership of the research program.

*TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT
*
This is a grant-contingent career non-tenure track faculty position. The
successful candidate will be a Senior Research Associate. Initially, this

expanding the FTE and longer-term extension depending on funding

decision based on funding availability. Candidates bringing relevant funded
grants with them are highly desirable.

It is our goal that this position retain a guaranteed base of 0.2 FTE each
year to allow the successful candidate to strategically engage with the
larger SCI organization, with the remainder FTE to come from grant funded
sources, some of which will come from the candidate’s research agenda and
some from successful research funding by other SCI researchers.

*Level of Appointment:
*
0.8 FTE with ability and desire to expand to 1.0 FTE as funding allows.
