Department Summary

The Department of Finance, Lundquist College of Business, University of Oregon seeks to fill one faculty position at Assistant Teaching Professor, Associate Teaching Professor, or Professor of Practice of Real Estate. We seek someone with the ability to teach various applied real estate courses, including but not limited to real estate finance, real estate investment analysis, real estate development, commercial real estate, real estate valuation methods, and real estate market analysis.

Position Summary

In this role, you'll have the opportunity to teach up to eight graduate or undergraduate courses, primarily focused on commercial real estate.
