Job Description
Henley Business School (University of Reading) is seeking to appoint two new faculty members at Lecturer level in the Department of Real Estate and Planning.
The first position is for a lecturer in ‘Housing Markets and Policy’. Areas of interest include: housing economics, housing finance and mortgage markets, the evolution of the ‘living’ capital markets, national and international policy developments and the role of land use planning in shaping housing market outcomes. An interest in the impact of global megatrends such as climate change, technology and demographics on housing markets and policy developments is desirable but not essential.

We provide the environment for colleagues to work collaboratively as well as individually in developing their research.
