The Department of Urban Planning invites applicants for a tenure-track faculty position in Urban Design with a focus on the built and natural environment, and research interests in the physical, material, and design qualities of the metropolis, including its natural and social ecologies, sustainability, landscape, and infrastructure. We welcome scholars with domestic and global perspectives on urban design. The selected candidate will conduct lectures and seminars on topics relevant to these areas of focus and should also be able to provide studio instruction in urban design. We expect the new colleague to take the lead at UCLA in advancing collaborative and interdisciplinary research on the natural and built environments of cities and regions.

We have a tradition of intellectual leadership in urban studies and design, and our faculty, students, and alumni have long been known for their passionate commitment to social justice and progressive planning ideals.

Los Angeles is a global city renowned for its dynamism, robust economy, rich cultural diversity, and spectacular climate. The Luskin School of Public Affairs is home to the departments of Public Policy, Social Welfare, and Urban Planning, as well as six research centers.

UCLA offers competitive salary and attractive benefits packages, including a housing assistance program for new faculty members. The University of California seeks to recruit and retain a diverse workforce as a reflection of our commitment to serve the people of California, to maintain the excellence of the University, and to offer our students richly varied disciplines, perspectives, and ways of knowing and learning. The Department of Urban Planning in particular is committed to diversity and excellence in our faculty, students, and scholarship, and we especially encourage candidates who share and can contribute to this commitment.
