The School of Architecture at The University of Arizona's regards the local built environment as inseparable from the Sonoran Desert, where generations of people have thrived in an extreme climate. With growing enrollments enriching our already diverse, dynamic, and engaged student body, our program invites applications for potential faculty that align with our mission to "address complex social and environmental issues, locally and globally, through professional education, critical inquiry, research and innovation." 

The University of Arizona provides excellent opportunities for vigorous and collaborative researchers, with creative and productive faculty in the School of Architecture and in allied disciplines, such as a strong buildings-oriented faculty in Civil and Architectural Engineering & Mechanics, and in broader programs allied with the university's historic strength in environment, such as the Arizona Institute for Resilience. Within the broader context of the University, there is potential for a wide network of partnerships across programs centered on resilience, AI and data, environment, energy, health, and water. The successful candidate may demonstrate alignment with one or more of the university's key research areas: 1) Data, Information Systems and Artificial Intelligence; 2) Energy, Mining, and Environmental Sustainability; 3) The Future of Health and Biomedical Sciences; 4) The Human Experience; 5) National Security; 6) Space Sciences.

1. Advance Externally Funded Building Science Research that Integrates with Design. Build and sustain an active, externally funded research program that expands the frontiers of building science and building physics. Connect building performance simulation, sustainable building technologies, indoor environmental quality, materials, and energy systems to architectural design practice and pedagogy, potentially including emerging areas such as AI, digital twins, cyber-physical sensing, or advanced construction methods.
2. Collaborate Across Disciplines to Address Global Challenges. Join a dynamic academic community with strong connections to Sustainable Built Environments, Landscape Architecture, Real Estate Development, Urban Planning, the College of Information Science, and Civil and Architectural Engineering and Mechanics, as well as to university-wide initiatives in Energy, Environment, Water, Health, Data, and AI.

This position offers the opportunity to cultivate diverse partnerships that advance interdisciplinary research aligned with the University's strategic research areas.

3. Teach and Research in the Living Laboratory of the Sonoran Desert. Engage in a distinctive pedagogical and research context where the built environment is inseparable from its desert setting. Tucson's rich ecological and cultural landscape provides an unparalleled opportunity to explore architecture's role in adaptation, material and energy flows, and climate-responsive design.
