The Blackwood Department of Real Estate within the R. B. Pamplin College of Business at Virginia Tech invites applications for an Associate or Full Professor of Real Estate who will hold the Blackwood Endowed Chair. This is an exciting opportunity for an established scholar to join a growing department interested in expanding its research, teaching, and service capacity while continuing to build its international reputation. The position is a tenured, academic-year appointment beginning August 10, 2027. The successful candidate will conduct high-quality research regularly leading to publications in top-tier academic journals such as Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics, Journal of Real Estate Research, and Real Estate Economics. Additionally, the candidate will carry an annual teaching load of three courses (9 credits) in the undergraduate real estate program and engage in service activities that increase awareness of the department in both the academic and professional communities. Instructional effectiveness and flexibility are essential, as is a willingness to engage in experiential learning activities that prepare undergraduate students for their eventual entry into the workforce.
Thanks to a generous $10 million gift from the Blackwood family in 2021, the department's endowment is well positioned to support the scholarly endeavors of its faculty. Faculty are encouraged to explore emerging real estate trends, present at national and international conferences, engage in timely policy debate, and contribute to the professionalization of the real estate industry at large.
The Florida State University Real Estate Center, the University of Florida Kelley A. Bergstrom Real Estate Center, and the University of Georgia RealEstate Program announce a call for papers for the 2027 FSU-UF-UGA Critical Issues in Real Estate Symposium. The symposium seeks to bring together lead-ing researchers from academia and industry with current research on real estate, real estate finance, and urban economics. It will feature longer, in-depth paper presentations and ample time for discussion among presenters, assigned discussants, and other participants in a relaxed yet focused setting.
As a Research Economist, you will develop an in-depth research effort focusing on one or more real estate asset classes. Under the guidance of the research director, you will set an applied annual research agenda, develop findings through rigorous methods and disseminate them in writing (blog posts, articles, and reports), media interviews, and presentations to industry, community and government stakeholders. Through focused attention on current and emerging issues, use of appropriate and sophisticated methods, political neutrality, and the highest ethical standards, your work will benefit from, and enhance, the Center’s reputation as the authoritative voice on economic and real estate conditions in the nation’s leading state economy. You will have opportunities for individual and collaborative projects, influence the broader Center research agenda, and develop relationships with key institutions and leaders in the real estate industry. In short, this is a role that offers the chance to do fulfilling and impactful applied economic work in a dynamic and growing state.
