Position offered by School of Architecture, Georgia Institute of Technology

The Georgia Institute of Technology School of Architecture invites applications for a full-time tenure track position at the Assistant or Associate Professor level with the capacity for impact in architectural design through work on novel computational techniques, innovative structural forms, or new materials, or on some combination of these. Candidates are expected to be able to build on the legacy of the Georgia Tech School of Architecture as a leader in these fields and contribute to near and next-generation design technology research. Teaching and/or professional experience in computationally driven architectural and/or structural design for a minimum of two years is a requirement. The successful candidate will be expected to establish interdisciplinary collaborations in teaching and research with faculty from other schools within the College of Design and across campus including computing, engineering, and science, and will be given support in making these connections. Teaching responsibilities include an undergraduate or graduate design studio and seminar or workshop in the area of computational design, structural design, and/or material research each semester. SoA faculty have access to all the resources of the College of Design for their research and teaching, including a Digital Fabrication & Robotics Laboratory that houses a suite of industrial-scale CNC machines.

Candidates are sought with evident strength and continued promise as innovators in architectural design pedagogy; and whose own creative work demonstrates the ability to infuse design culture with the potential of new enabling tools and end-product technologies in service to broader social, cultural, and environmental aims. Candidates will be expected to engage in the translation of relevant fundamental research into design practice and initiate new research in the light of questions identified through architecture; to help strengthen the M. Arch. professional program; and to link their own research and scholarship to one of the areas of focus in the M.S. and Ph.D. programs.

Required Qualifications: Candidates must have a terminal degree of a Master of Architecture or greater. Professional qualifications in architecture are expected and a doctoral degree is desirable. Publications and/or exhibitions of creative work are expected.

Proposed Salary: This is a full-time, tenure-track appointment with annual nine-month appointments. Candidates receive a salary commensurate with their experience as well as fringe and health benefits.

Required Documents to Attach: Applicants should submit the following material no later than February 29:

  • Letter of Interest
  • Curriculum Vitae
  • Area of Research Statement (2-page max)
  • Portfolio of Creative Work and Examples of Teaching
  • Recommendation Letters (3)
