Candidates with research and teaching interests in land use planning, environmental planning, housing and planning theory and methods are especially encouraged to apply. Preference will be given to candidates with community-based experience.

Successful candidates are expected to maintain an active, scholarly research agenda where publication and external funding are requisites for success. The appointee will be expected to teach 4 courses per year.

The successful candidate will play a major role in the well-established, interdisciplinary program in Community Planning that is part of the Master of Arts and Baccalaureate programs in Geography. The Community Planning Program is a major element in the Department's long-standing commitment to local and regional outreach, and the successful candidate would be expected to maintain professional contact with the regional and local planning community. Involvement with doctoral students in a recently established Ph.D. in Geography and Urban Regional Analysis is also expected.

The Department, the College of Arts and Sciences and the University of North Carolina Charlotte are strongly committed to creating and maintaining a community in which all students, staff and faculty can work, learn and live in an environment of respect and support. We welcome applications that help us achieve these goals. We encourage applications from women and individuals from underrepresented groups.

Applications must be made electronically at https://jobs.uncc.edu and must include: 1) letter of application describing teaching and research interests, 2) a full curriculum vita, and 3) the names of three referees.
