Job Description:
The Department of Urban Studies and Planning seeks faculty
candidates at the level of Assistant Professor whose research,
teaching, and service will advance scholarship and institutional
solutions for designing more just and equitable systems and
structures. This faculty member will advance UC San Diego's
commitment to the inclusion of Indigenous, Black, and migrant
communities, anti-racism, anti-oppression, equity, and social
justice. We especially welcome candidates whose professional
experience, community engagement, and personal background have
facilitated their understanding of and ability to better serve
students from Indigenous and other underrepresented
populations.
Faculty hired under this Initiative will join the UC San Diego
campus, the UC San Diego Design Lab (), and the Indigenous Futures
Institute () to forge a new paradigm of engagement and
collaboration that draws on the geographic, academic,
institutional, and cultural strengths of our tri-national region
across Southern California, Baja California, and the Kumeyaay
region.
This search is part of a UC San Diego-wide cluster hire on
Designing Just Futures () that aims to recruit scholars who can
contribute to the advancement of design, social justice, and
Indigenous, Black, and migrant futures and seeks engagement with
scholars across disciplines to address issues of territory, access
and equity, and social and political debates pertinent to
Indigenous, Black, border and migrant communities, while also
working within their home departments and professional
communities.
As part of their teaching portfolio, faculty hired for this search
will be expected to design and teach courses that align with the
Department of Urban Studies and Planning, the Design Lab, and the
Indigenous Futures Institute programs.
The Department of Urban Studies and Planning is a rapidly growing
department with a commitment to planning research and education in
support of climate justice. For this search, we seek scholars in
urban and regional planning whose research, teaching, and service
emphasizes planning by, with and for Black, Indigenous, and/or
migrant communities. Scholars whose work addresses climate justice
in a way that centers the interests and perspectives of Black,
Indigenous, and/or migrant communities will receive special
consideration.
UC San Diego was built on the unceded territory of the Kumeyaay
people. Today and every day we honor their stewardship of this land
and their tremendous contributions to our region. Land
acknowledgements are an important gesture of collective recognition
and accountability. But we also commit ourselves to action, to
truth in learning and teaching the history of this place and its
people, a reckoning with injustices, past and present, and a
pathway forward that respects the dignity and human rights of
all.
Salary is commensurate with qualifications and based on University
of California pay scales. For applicants interested in
spousal/partner employment, please visit the UC San Diego Partner
