Faculty & InstructionalJob Summary:
The Department of Urban Planning at UWM invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor in Urban Planning to start in August 2025. The expectations of this assistant professor position include teaching, research, student advising, faculty committee service, and other duties and responsibilities normally expected of the faculty of the University. The assistant professor will first receive a three-year probationary appointment through 2027-2028 and then can be reappointed on a probationary basis through 2030-2031. The assistant professor must apply for tenure and promotion and undergo review by this time (or earlier). The assistant professor’s tenure journey will be supported by Department of Urban Planning faculty, the School of Architecture & Urban Planning, and the College of the Arts & Architecture through an annual review process and mentoring.The Department of Urban Planning emphasizes applied, practice-based teaching and research, underpinned by Partnerships, Power, Place, and Possibilities (4 P’s) in our pursuit of social justice and sustainable economic development in cities like Milwaukee, across the Midwest, and the nation.
