What is an assistant professor architecture?

Assistant Professors of Architecture are early-career faculty members at colleges or universities who teach courses related to architecture, conduct research, and often contribute to the development of curriculum and academic programs. They may also mentor students, supervise design studios, and participate in academic committees. Typically, Assistant Professors are in a tenure-track position, working towards promotion to Associate Professor based on their teaching, research, and service achievements. Their work helps advance both architectural education and the broader field through innovative research and creative practice.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an assistant professor architecture?

To thrive as an Assistant Professor of Architecture, you need a strong academic background in architecture, a professional degree (such as M.Arch or Ph.D.), and demonstrated experience in teaching, research, and design practice. Familiarity with architectural design software (e.g., AutoCAD, Revit, Rhino), digital fabrication tools, and experience with accreditation or curriculum development are typically required. Strong communication, mentorship, and collaboration skills set exceptional candidates apart in fostering student growth and engaging with colleagues. These abilities ensure effective teaching, advancement of architectural research, and meaningful contributions to academic and professional communities.

What are some common challenges faced by assistant professors in architecture when balancing teaching, research, and professional practice?

Assistant Professors in Architecture often find it challenging to balance their teaching responsibilities, ongoing research, and, in some cases, professional practice. Juggling course preparation, student mentorship, and studio critiques with publishing research and participating in design competitions can be demanding. Time management and establishing clear priorities are essential, especially since early-career faculty are also expected to contribute to departmental service and stay current with industry trends. Many institutions offer mentorship programs and structured support to help new faculty navigate these demands and develop a sustainable workflow.

Harvard University's Graduate School of Design aims to advance the frontiers of design technology, to educate leaders in design, research, and scholarship, and to make a resilient, just, and beautiful world. The Department of Architecture invites applications for full-time, tenure track positions at the rank of Assistant/Associate Professor in Design Computation in relation to fabrication, AI/machine learning, and/or related digital media fields. While the department's priority is filling tenure track positions, we will also consider part-time Assistant/Associate Professorships in Practice of Architecture. This position is housed in the Department of Architecture, which offers the M.Arch I and M.Arch II degrees. The selected candidate is expected to engage students and colleagues in Architecture and across the school's other departments and programs, including the Master in Design Studies Program, as well as the Master in Design Engineering.
Teaching responsibilities will primarily involve required introductory courses in Computational Design / Digital Media and Digital Fabrication, as well as advanced courses in these areas or in AI/machine learning. The successful applicant should also be able to participate in design studio reviews and offer instruction in the related areas and/or topics that are part of the required core technology sequence of the M.Arch I program. Examples include, but are not limited to structural design, construction technology, sustainability, computational design studio, digital media, etc. Candidates should be creative researchers advancing knowledge in the areas of technology as described above. A collaborative mindset and interest in engaging in the school's Center for Green Buildings and Cities and/or the Laboratory for Design Technology are expected. Candidates should have an exemplary record of research and teaching and should be able to interact with related disciplines at Harvard, such as engineering and computer science.
Basic Qualifications
Candidates with a doctoral degree in a related area are preferred and/or candidates must have completed a Masters or Advanced degree in Architecture or a related field by the time the appointment begins; applicants not holding a doctoral degree but possessing exceptional experience and achievement, along with a Masters or Advanced degree will also be considered.
