The College of Environmental Design (CED) at UC Berkeley invites applications for a pool of qualified instructors to teach studio and non-studio undergraduate and/or graduate courses, including for the Sustainable Environmental Design (SED) major and the Master of Urban Design (MUD) program.

The Sustainable Environmental Design major recognizes that the emergent, multidisciplinary field of sustainability science is growing rapidly. As the world population urbanizes, the planning and design of resilient, resource-efficient, healthy and socially just cities and metropolitan regions is profoundly important. The major offers students a critical understanding of the sustainability challenges facing urban regions in California and around the globe, and equips them with the technical, analytic and design tools key to devising creative solutions.

The Master of Urban Design degree program is a one-year, advanced, interdisciplinary program of study for students with a prior professional degree in architecture, landscape architecture, or city and regional planning. The program's goals are to further train designers who are able to work effectively in teams across a large range of scales and who have a well-developed understanding of urban places and the interdependencies of the fabric of buildings, landscapes, public ways, and the social interactions that shape them.

Lecturers will supervise student design projects, give lectures, prepare assignments and project topics & deliverables, hold regular office hours, prepare exams or hold reviews, give design advice, and submit final grades.

Screening of applicants is ongoing and will continue as needed. The number of positions varies from semester to semester (fall, spring and summer), depending upon the needs of the College. Your application is only complete and available for review when you receive an auto-generated confirmation from the recruitment system.

Bachelor's degree (or equivalent international degree) at time of application.

The Problem Blue Hour is Solving

America is facing a workforce housing crisis. We're short 4-7 million homes, and the people who keep our communities running are bearing the cost. Teachers commute two hours each way. Nurses sleep in their cars between shifts. Resort towns can't staff restaurants because workers can't afford rent within 50 miles. Factory employees choose between housing and other necessities. When essential workers can't afford to live near their jobs, everyone loses. Employers struggle to retain talent. Communities lose the people who make them function. And workers sacrifice their financial security, their time with family, and often their health just to stay employed.

About Blue Hour Housing

Blue Hour Housing is tackling this crisis head-on. We develop and manage high-quality, affordable workforce housing through partnerships with employers, nonprofits, and government agencies. Using adaptive reuse, strategic renovations, and new construction, we're creating housing solutions where they're needed most. We've proven the model. Today we operate properties across Vermont, Connecticut, Colorado, and South Carolina, partnering with employers such as Vail Resorts, Killington Resort, and Climax Molybdenum. Now we're scaling nationally to reach the communities and workers who need us most.

The Opportunity

Blue Hour is seeking a Chief Operating Officer (COO) to lead the design, planning, and integration of the company’s operating platform as we continue to scale nationally. This role is a senior leadership position and a close partner to the CEO, responsible for translating strategy into execution and directly managing functional leaders across property management, development, finance, and business development. The COO will focus on building the operating model, systems, and processes that enable functional leaders to execute effectively and the company to scale efficiently. The COO will ensure alignment across teams, create clarity around priorities and decision-making, and establish the operating rhythm of the business. The right candidate is a self-starter with an owner’s mindset, strong systems thinking, and a track record of operational rigor in complex, scaling businesses. This is a highly impactful role for a leader excited to help shape the next phase of an emerging platform.

Performance & Governance

What You Bring

o  10+ years of experience in consulting or operations leadership, ideally in real estate, hospitality, housing, or another operationally intensive business

o  Experience working closely with founders or executive teams in growth-stage organizations
