Candidates should also have a record of distinguished scholarly and/or applied contributions in an urban-related field as well as experience raising funds for sponsored research and managing teams of researchers.

We are looking for new Program Directors in the following three areas:

 - Open area, including any program of applied research that addresses problems that cities face. We are open to candidates who come from a variety of academic disciplines (e.g. engineering, health sciences, law, computer science, social sciences) and who have a variety of research interests.

What We’re Building

The Marron Institute of Urban Management at New York University works with cities and other jurisdictions to improve the provision of local services and effect positive social change. We are a rapidly growing and entrepreneurial institute. Out top priority is the creation of action-oriented research programs that improve life in cities. Currently, the Marron Institute has major research programs focusing on air quality, urban expansion, criminal justice, and public sector performance and innovation.
