The University of Cincinnati College of Law invites applications for the Eichner Research Fellowship in Workforce Housing Policy, a three-year position to begin in January of 2023. The fellowship is designed for legal and policy practitioners with a strong interest in housing, real estate, or land use. The primary aim of the fellowship is to develop actionable recommendations for solving the workforce housing shortage in the Cincinnati region, with an eye to creating a policy model that can be adapted for use in peer cities around the United States.
The Eichner Fellow will have opportunities to collaborate with faculty and participate in workshops and symposia from across the University, including the College of Law, the School of Planning, the College of Arts & Sciences, and the Lindner College of Business. The fellow’s work will benefit from Cincinnati Law’s existing connections to city and regional governments and private developers to ensure their voices as stakeholders are included at appropriate points in the research process. The Fellow will also benefit from UC Law’s significant experience in community-action research, which will ensure that the voices of those most affected by workforce housing policy inform the research design and are represented to public partners.
Essential Functions- Develop an innovative workforce housing policy model suited to the conditions of Greater Cincinnati and adaptable to promote the creation of housing that meets the needs of low- and moderate-wage workers in peer cities across the Midwest and the United States.
- Design and implement research into housing market dynamics, policy and regulatory barriers to workforce housing, and needs and concerns of community groups, labor, developers, and local officials.
- Convene and facilitate stakeholder meetings.

- Engage in appropriate training and professional development opportunities.
- Play an active role in seeking career and research advice, both from the faculty supervisor and from other faculty members as well.
