USC’s Sol Price School of Public Policy invites applications for a tenure-track position in the area of real estate development at the Associate Professor or Professor level.

Applicants should hold a doctoral degree and demonstrate excellent research and teaching records, appropriate to rank. Preference will be given to those who have research and teaching interests that readily link to the economic, social, demographic, equity and policy issues associated with real estate development. The specific area of specialization is open.

We encourage applications from candidates who identify with groups that are historically underrepresented in real estate development.

The successful applicant will be closely affiliated with the highly-regarded Lusk Center for Real Estate, and may be involved with the Ross Minority Program in Real Estate, which provides technical training in urban redevelopment. Scholars affiliated with the Lusk Center collaborate with industry leaders, public decision-makers, and community experts to craft innovative solutions to 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 position includes the possibility of a leadership position within the Department of Real Estate.
