About the opportunity

The School of Architecture, Design and Planning has been offering architectural education for more than a century and is one of the top 25 built environment Schools globally. In 2020 our strategic plan reaffirmed our commitment to social justice, student centred programs, multi-disciplinarity, and staff professional development. We have also solidified our engagement with industry and the professions through the appointment of a number of practice educators and professors of practice.

We are seeking candidates who deploy innovative teaching practices and deliver engaging learning experiences to prepare students for entry into professional environments. We are seeking candidates with the ability to teach construction and building design within a project-based architectural design studio setting, particularly at undergraduate level. We are also interested in candidates with the ability to teach professional practice. Candidates must have expertise in architectural design, and a demonstrated capacity for leadership across educational, professional and institutional settings. Successful candidates will collaborate with colleagues in the school's state-of-the-art architectural science, computation, and fabrication labs, and will have opportunities to enhance partnerships with design, urbanism, engineering, computer science, environmental studies and allied fields.
