Position Description and Qualifications:
The University of Southern California’s Sol Price School of Public Policy invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in the area of real estate development at the Assistant or Associate Professor level.
Applicants should hold a doctoral degree and demonstrate excellent research and teaching records, appropriate to rank. Although the specific area of specialization is open, preference will be given to those who have research and teaching interests that readily link to the economic, social, demographic and political issues associated with real estate development.
The successful applicant will have a close affiliation with the highly regarded Lusk Center for Real Estate, and may be involved with its innovative Ross Minority Program in Real Estate, which provides technical training for those interested in urban redevelopment. Scholars affiliated with the Lusk Center collaborate with industry leaders, public decision makers, and community experts to craft innovative solutions to the day’s pressing real estate development and finance challenges.
Applicants are encouraged from a broad range of disciplines (e.g., economics, business, urban planning, public policy) with a demonstrated capacity to integrate methods and insights across disciplinary boundaries. The School offers an undergraduate major and minor in real estate development, and a Master of Real Estate Development. Our new colleague will contribute to teaching in our real estate development programs at the undergraduate, masters, and doctoral levels.
