Description

Position Number: 330618

The School of Business at Duquesne University invites applications for a full-time, non-tenure-track faculty position in real estate that, for the right candidate, can also include serving as the Director of the Real Estate Program. The position begins in August 2026. Applicants with significant professional experience in real estate (e.g., development, entrepreneurship, investment, valuation, brokerage, property/asset management, law, construction and/or taxation) and who also possess deep connections to the Pittsburgh business community are especially welcome to apply. The faculty rank for this position will be either Instructor (for those with an MBA or a relevant master’s) or Assistant Professor of Practice (for those with a terminal degree such as the Ph.D.).

The normal teaching load for full-time non-tenure-track faculty is 24 credit hours per academic year (i.e., eight 3-credit classes, a 4-4 teaching load). However, a candidate who is also appointed as the Director of the Real Estate Program will have a reduced teaching load (18-21 credit hours per academic year) due to the significant administrative responsibilities involved in the real estate program’s initiatives and activities. More specifically, the Director of the Real Estate Program is charged with supporting the development and implementation of programs related to real estate major and future real estate initiatives, coaching students in real estate competitions, and representing the Real Estate Major at student recruiting and other important events.

The Director of the Real Estate Program is appointed by and serves at the discretion of the Dean, in consultation with the Chair of the Department of Economics & Finance. Besides teaching, key responsibilities include supporting fundraising and external relations (mainly with companies and alumni), supporting curricular development and other student-related activities, and developing and executing strategic planning for the future Real Estate Center.
