The Department of Architecture invites applications for multiple full-time and/or part-time positions at Open Rank. While the department's priority is filling full-time tenure track positions, we will also consider part-time senior and junior Professorships in Practice of Architecture and various Lecturer positions at all levels. The successful candidate or candidates will demonstrate expertise in design, playing an active role in design pedagogy of the core studio curriculum. In addition, the candidate(s) will specialize in one or more of the following areas: Design Innovation/Spatial Practice; Construction/Material Culture; Climate/Sustainability. The appointment for a full-time position would require residency in Cambridge/Boston, MA.
Teaching responsibilities will involve required design studio courses for students in the professional MArch programs. Additionally, the successful candidate will offer lecture courses and research-based seminars in their area of scholarship to students across the professional, and post-professional tracks. The candidates are expected to regularly engage with design students and faculty through thesis advising, guest critiques, and project reviews.
Candidates should be creative designers who show promise of an innovative approach and a clear voice in the discipline that contributes to the discourse of architecture. Candidates should also demonstrate investment in design scholarship and in critical and creative studio pedagogy, particularly with respect to teaching foundational design. Candidates at senior levels should provide evidence of all of the above as well as a distinguished track record of design achievement including global recognition in the field.
Basic Qualifications
Candidates will hold a Master of Architecture or related advanced degree. They will have relevant work experience in architectural design, exemplary practice, and a record of scholarship. Ideally, the candidate will have more than three years of teaching experience. Professional licensure is desirable but not a pre-requisite.
