The position is expected to work closely with colleagues to advance MADA disciplines within the University and externally.

You will have a PhD or equivalent higher degree in urban planning or a related planning field or, in exceptional circumstances, demonstration of equivalence through research-based practice, accompanied by a strong vision for urban planning education and practice and research excellence.
