Two Open-Ranked Faculty Positions


The Department of City and Regional Planning at Cornell University seeks
to fill two tenure-track faculty positions, with rank to be determined
based on qualifications. Successful applicants will demonstrate capacity
and commitment to teach, conduct research, and engage in outreach and
professional activity.

We seek candidates competent in at least one of the following three areas.
Candidates with interests that cut across areas are especially sought.
•Environmental analysis and planning: ecological systems; physical
plan-making; environmental policy for urban, suburban, or rural areas
•Regional economic analysis and planning: economic systems; regional and
metropolitan development planning; regional science
•Urbanism and design: theory and practice of place-making; interaction of
the built environment with other spheres of social, political, and
economic life

Successful candidates will have expertise in and willingness to teach
advanced methods for spatial and/or economic analysis and representation.
Areas of competence would likely include some of the following.
•Geographic information systems (GIS)
•Computer-based planning support systems
•Regional land-use, environmental, and economic simulation
•Regional economic analysis
•Advanced multivariate analysis and spatial statistics
•Three-dimensional computer-aided design
•Computer animation

We seek candidates who can contribute to our department’s comparative
perspective, adding in particular the ability to consider planning
practice in the United States in the context of globalization and
international experience. We seek candidates who will enhance the
diversity of the faculty and strengthen our efforts to promote
participation and equity.

Successful candidates should have a Ph.D. in planning, landscape
architecture, architecture, regional science, geography, economics,
sociology, or another field relevant to the applicant’s substantive
interest.

Cornell University is an equal opportunity, affirmative action educator
