The School of Planning, Public Policy and Management (PPPM) at the University of Oregon invites applications for an Assistant Professor tenure-track position. This position is part of a cluster of activity led by the Sustainable Cities Initiative (SCI), called Urbanism Next. Advances in technology such as the advent of autonomous vehicles (AV’s), the rise of E-commerce, and the proliferation of the sharing economy will have profound effects on how we live, move, and spend our time in cities, but also increasingly on urban form, economic systems, real estate, quality of life, the environment, social mobility, equity, and more. This faculty position will focus on transportation planning, policy, and modelling, with a specific focus on the impacts of these technological changes on urban form, environment, equity, livability, and economy. SCI is an applied think tank focused on sustainability and cities and Urbanism Next is a core, crossdisciplinary, long term research area for SCI and core to many of the activities within the School of PPPM. This hire is part of a cluster across the university looking at these issues and twenty percent of the candidate’s time is expected to be devoted to working directly with SCI, building and supporting the collective work of Urbanism Next.
