Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan invites applications for tenure-track faculty positions at the rank of assistant professor, associate professor, or professor in the Urban and Regional Planning (URP) Program. One position will focus on land use and resilience planning, with research advancing the intersection of land use and climate resilience through a U.S., global, and/or comparative lens. We are particularly interested in candidates whose work addresses pressing challenges such as community resilience and sustainability; climate mitigation, vulnerability reduction, and adaptation; disaster preparedness, planning, and recovery; Indigenous planning; disparities in exposure to environmental hazards and climate risks; and inequalities in access to environmental benefits and protections. A second position will focus on real estate, with research that advances the field and intersects with areas such as land and property markets, regulation, public-private partnerships, urban economics, community ownership models, housing affordability, and urban development policy. Candidates should demonstrate strong potential for policy relevance, community engagement, interdisciplinary collaboration, and field-defining scholarship, and diverse methodological approaches are welcome.
Successful candidates will join a vibrant, collaborative, innovative, and welcoming community of faculty in the URP Program with potential collaborations across campus including the Graham Sustainability Institute, the School for Environment and Sustainability, the School of Public Health, the Weiser Center for Real Estate, and others.
