POSITION DESCRIPTION

The Tulane University School of Architecture seeks qualified tenure-track (pre-tenure) candidates in Real Estate Development at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor. The anticipated starting date of the position is July 1, 2022.

 
This position will support our educational mission in the teaching of real estate development at both the graduate and undergraduate levels, while contributing to the development of our urban research agenda in the areas of sustainable real estate, social impact and climate change mitigation and adaptation. This professorship is expected to continue the tradition of close teaching and research collaboration with the program faculty of architecture, design, and historic preservation, as well as the new program in landscape architecture. Research expectations include original contributions to high-impact peer reviewed journals, edited volumes and books. There is an expectation that the faculty member will seek to develop and participate in competitive research grant applications in coordination with faculty from across the school and the university. Relevant ongoing university-wide research initiatives center on climate change, urban dimensions of inequality, affordable housing and public health in the built environment.

The selected candidate will integrate their expertise and provide new insights within our Master of Sustainable Real Estate Development (MSRED) program and Bachelor of Science in Real Estate (BSRE) program. We are seeking a faculty member with expertise in any number of allied fields of the built environment, including GIS and spatial analytics, urban economics, real estate finance, and urban planning and design. Additionally, we have particular interest in a candidate who can strengthen the delivery of a two-semester sequence of Design + Development Studios at the undergraduate level. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in the applied processes of urban and real estate development, including aspects of financing, environmental and land use regulation, project delivery and management.

Tulane’s academic programs in real estate are aligned with the School’s traditional Architecture degrees (B.Arch, BS-Arch, M.Arch, and MS-Arch), Master of Preservation Studies (MPS) degree, as well as the A.B. Freeman School of Business graduate degrees (MBA, MS). Other programs and centers at Tulane University provide opportunities for interdisciplinary research and collaboration, including the ByWater Institute, the Murphy Institute, School of Public Health & Tropical Medicine, and the School of Science and Engineering.


Salary and academic rank will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
The search committee will commence its initial screening of applications on January 17, 2022.  However, applications will be accepted and reviewed until the position is filled.

QUALIFICATIONS

Successful candidates for this position will hold a terminal degree (e.g., Ph.D., D.Des) in their core academic discipline. The search committee welcomes scholars from a wide variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary backgrounds—from economics to economic geography and from urban planning to urban science. Candidates should exhibit methodological and pedagogical proficiency in a number of key areas, including, but not limited to, spatial analytics and GIS, urban planning and design practices, real estate investment analysis, and public policy evaluation. The candidate should possess an ambition for embracing the interdisciplinary aspects of real estate development. The candidate should have a focused research agenda that ideally builds on the existing research momentum of the school and the university. Candidates with a scholarly focus in sustainable real estate and/or climate change mitigation and adaptation in the built environment are strongly encouraged to apply.

 

The search committee also welcomes candidates with professional experience in real estate development, real estate investment, architecture and urban design, and urban and environmental planning. Demonstrated professional experience in built projects, managed portfolios or demonstrated public sector successes will be positively viewed by the search committee. Faculty members at Tulane School of Architecture are expected to teach and mentor students; work with faculty and administrative leadership to develop, refine and assess curriculum; contribute to cross-disciplinary research initiatives; and engage in service through a range of academic committees, peer academies, and public service opportunities supporting the civic and public sectors. Furthermore, candidates are expected to vigorously pursue an agenda of high-impact scholarly research.

 
Real estate development is both an art and a science and successful candidates will reflect on the necessity to engage creative production along with the disciplinary demands associated with empirical peer-reviewed research production. Applicants at the rank of Associate Professor should have a demonstrated record of excellence in teaching seminar and/or lecture courses, as well as a track-record in publishing high-impact scholarship. Candidates at all ranks should be able to teach core undergraduate and graduate real estate courses, advise on undergraduate and graduate academic research projects, and provide professional career advice. Although not required, candidates with studio experience will be positively received by the search committee. External engagement obligations include maintaining ongoing relationships with alumni and industry and public sector leaders.
