Mission of the Michael C. Duda Center for Preservation, Resilience, and Sustainability
The Michael Christopher Duda Center for Preservation, Resilience, and Sustainability was established in 2021 to offer the School of Architecture at the University of Notre Dame new and expanded opportunities to advance its mission, especially in the protection and conservation of "our common home," as Pope Francis wrote in Laudato Si'.
The Center provides essential resources to support the Master of Science in Historic Preservation.
(MSHP) program and all undergraduate coursework focused on historic environments. Complementing its teaching mission, the Center sponsors multidisciplinary research that explores how tangible and intangible heritage can inform sustainable architectural and urban development. The program also aims to expand and strengthen its international network of allies and collaborators who share the Center's mission and vision.
The School will consider outstanding candidates at the rank of Associate or Full Professor (with tenure) to teach upper-level architectural design studio courses and those related to historic preservation. In addition to teaching design studios, candidates should have a strong administrative background as it relates to managing a program of study in Historic Preservation, Resilience, and Sustainability. The position also includes serving as the Director of the Michael Christopher Duda Center for Preservation, Resilience, and Sustainability. Faculty with tenure and demonstrated administrative capability, especially with academic affairs or service to institutions like the ACSA, NAAB, or AIA, are encouraged to apply.
The School of Architecture at the University of Notre Dame is a Catholic academic community of higher learning, dedicated to the pursuit and sharing of truth for its own sake. One of our distinctive goals is to provide a forum where, through free inquiry and open discussion, the various lines of Catholic thought may intersect with all the forms of knowledge found in the arts, sciences, professions, and every other area of human scholarship and creativity.
Our pedagogy is grounded in cultural continuity, community, and harmony with nature through mindful design. It is a vital point of departure for addressing the urban and environmental changes that all societies currently face.
We consider our pedagogy's goals, content, and methodological rigor, as well as its commitment to both substance and change, as part of a legitimate campaign to restore architecture to its millennial role: generating the most diverse possible human habitat with reason, beauty, intelligence, justice, and peace of mind.
