Assistant Professor - City Planning and Real Estate Development
Location: Lee Hall - Clemson University
Clemson University's City Planning and Real Estate Development department is seeking a tenure-track faculty member to begin an appointment in August 2020. We anticipate hiring at the Assistant Professor level though those at the Associate Professor level will be considered. Teaching will primarily be in the department's Master of Real Estate Development (MRED) program but will also involve teaching a housing course in the Master of City and Regional Planning (MCRP) program. Teaching responsibilities are commensurate with those of a research-oriented program. The Clemson Master of Real Estate Development program educates students to become professional leaders and innovators in the development of sustainable communities. The program closely follows the principles of the Urban Land Institute, which believes that development is a public-private partnership and that quality development requires integrating the perspectives of community, environment and economics.
Clemson's MRED program uses an array of teaching formats including lectures, seminars, workshops and field work, computers, videos, case studies, tours and extensive class participation. Entering classes are typically kept to fewer than 30 students to maintain the personal scale of the program. Founded in 2004, MRED is an applied, full-time, 56-credit program that can be completed in either 18-months for Entry Level Early Career Students, or 12-months for experienced development professionals. Students come from the design/construction, business/finance, and social science/humanities backgrounds. Our 200 (plus) alumni are employed with premier real estate firms, agencies, and non-profits in 44 metro areas in 25 states and Asia. See program description at: www.clemson.edu/mred. The program has deep links to the national and local leadership of ULI, ICSC, SIOR, CCIM, and other professional associations. The MRED program is located in Greenville ONE, a new, mixed-use development on Main Street. In addition to MRED, ONE houses all of Clemson's graduate business programs and business outreach centers. Downtown Greenville is about 30 minutes from Clemson's main campus. The award-winning City of Greenville offers one of the nation's best and most innovative mid-size urban environments and is located mid-way between Ashville, Atlanta, and Charlotte, in the 1.4 million-person Greenville-Spartanburg metro area.

A Ph.D. degree in planning, urban economics, real estate, finance with a real estate concentration, land development, or a related concentration is required. Candidates with proven teaching/research experience are encouraged to apply. Professional experience in real estate development, and/or experience within the housing sector is a major plus. The candidate should be qualified to teach core and elective courses in the professional degree programs in the Master of Real Estate Development curriculum. The Candidate will also contribute to the service requirements of the college, university and community. Female and minority candidates are especially encouraged to apply for this position. Salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience.

Organization
Working at Clemson University
Clemson is a dynamic research university located in Upstate South Carolina at the center of the booming I-85 corridor between Charlotte, N.C., and Atlanta, Ga. One of the nation’s most selective public research universities according to U.S. News & World Report and The Princeton Review, Clemson University is the school of choice among top students in South Carolina and is increasingly competitive for the best students in the region and the nation. More than 17,100 students select from 70 undergraduate and 100 graduate degree programs through five academic colleges: Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences; Architecture, Arts and Humanities; Business and Behavioral Science; Engineering and Science; and Health, Education and Human Development.
Clemson’s transformation into a leading research institution — currently attracting in excess of $140 million in externally funded research and sponsored program awards per year — is based upon an academic plan that identifies eight emphasis areas in which the University has opportunities to increase education and research, to align with South Carolina’s economic development needs and to draw upon faculty strengths. Emphasis areas include automotive and transportation technology, advanced materials, biotechnology and biomedical sciences, leadership and entrepreneurship, sustainable environment, information and communication technology, family and community living, and general education.
Major economic development initiatives that have emerged from the academic plan include the Clemson International Center for Automotive Research — a 250-acre campus in Greenville, which has generated more than $225 million in public and private commitments in just four years; an advanced materials initiative at the Clemson Research Park, which includes a new LEED Silver-certified facility; and the South Carolina Health Sciences Collaborative — an initiative of the state’s three research universities and major health-care systems.
As the state’s land-grant university, Clemson reaches out to citizens, communities and businesses all over South Carolina. The Public Service Activities division includes the county-based Cooperative Extension Service, five off-campus research and education centers through the Clemson University Experiment Station and critical regulatory responsibilities for plant and animal health.
The University boasts a 1,400-acre campus on the shores of Lake Hartwell within view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Surrounding the campus are 18,000 acres of University farms and woodlands devoted to research. A warm campus environment, great weather and recreational activities offered by proximity to both the natural surroundings and large cities are part of the Clemson Experience.
Points of interest at Clemson include the following:
The Clemson Conference Center and Inn is a state-of-the-art facility for symposia, meetings, seminars and special events. The complex includes the Madren Continuing Education and Conference Center, the Walker Golf Course and the Martin Inn.
The South Carolina Botanical Garden, a 295-acre public garden, features several thousand varieties of ornamental plants and a unique collection of nature-based sculptures.
The Robert Howell Brooks Center for the Performing Arts brings an exciting array of concert, theater, dance, comedy and other live performances to the community.
