Job Description

The provision of affordable and adequate housing remains a fundamental challenge in urban development worldwide. Residents across both lower- and middle-income groups face growing difficulties in finding, accessing, and securing housing—not only in urban core centers but also in suburban agglomerations and popular mountainous tourist regions. These exclusionary housing dynamics have contributed to gentrification, segregation, and socio-economic polarization, often fueling urban social movements and, in some cases, political riots in cities and countries around the globe. This PhD research aims to examine housing issues through the lens of spatial planning by integrating public policy and new institutional analysis with insights from housing studies, urban research, and geography, among other disciplines. The successful candidate will devote at least half of their working time to their PhD research, with the remaining time reserved for supporting research and teaching of Assistant Professor Gabriela Debrunner in the fields of spatial planning, housing, urban studies, and geography.
