We are recruiting an Assistant Professor to strengthen and extend our team for research and education activities in the field of Real Estate Management. The candidate will join a highly ranked department, faculty and university and work in an international team of highly committed and successful academics in Real Estate Management (REM). The REM group emphasises on the user perspective, designing strategies and tools to implement this perspective in Real Estate Management. Next to that, our research focuses on the lifecycle of the built environment at all scales and the dynamics of those cycles. Analyses are based on sustainability, life cycle costs and total cost of use and ownership. In our research, we have a design thinking approach, developing decision support strategies and tools for actors who shape or influence the built environment, like investors, developers, designers, engineers, owners and users. The work has strong ties with other groups and research topics within the department, namely real estate economics, urban development management, and design and construction management.
The aim of the new position is to enhance the profile of our teaching and research, with a specific focus on research by design. The candidate is expected to teach bachelor and master courses (BSc Bouwkunde, MSc track Management in the Built Environment (MBE) and (in due time) take on course coordination and course development tasks. The candidate will also be playing an active role in initiating and contributing to research bids and funded projects, supervising PhD candidates and writing academic publications. This will require close collaboration with scholars in the department of MBE and/or the faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, as well as with experts in different domains outside the university.

The selection procedure for this position involves a 1st round mid/end July which includes an interview with the selectioncommittee and a presentation of max 30 min. about your vision on research and education. The second round (end August/early September) consists of a 2nd interview with the selectioncommittee and Trial lecture to a studentaudience.
