Abstract: Purpose - The university context has changed considerably in recent years. This paper aims to identify career strategies that can be used by property academics in the property education, research and industry linkages spaces in this changing university environment. This is particularly relevant for early career researchers (ECRs), as they navigate developing their careers as the next generation of property academics. Design/methodology/approach - This research is based on a thorough understanding and extensive experience of the university environment in the property area by the four authors. This depth of understanding is at a global level, with team members having extensive property academic experience over many years in Europe, the USA and Asia–Pacific. Findings - Career strategies for property academics are identified that will ensure the next generation of property academics are suitably prepared for the challenges of being an academic in the changing university environment. This is particularly relevant for ECRs in property. Practical implications - It is important to prepare the next generation of property academics to ensure the high quality of property graduates as they become the next generation of property professionals. Practical career strategies are identified for property academics to ensure that they have the necessary skills to develop their academic careers to empower the next generation of property professionals. Originality/value - This paper is the first paper to specifically address the career strategies needed by property academics in universities today. This is a key issue for the property industry going forward at all levels to ensure the next generation of property academics are empowered to prepare the next generation of property professionals.
