Faculty/Staff Positions
Assistant or Associate Professor in Architectural Design
Carnegie Mellon Architecture is seeking candidates for a tenure-track faculty position at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor in Architectural Design.
At Carnegie Mellon Architecture, we believe that design education, research and creative practice are in direct dialogue with society’s evolving concerns and must critically examine its current paradigms while striving for creativity. Building on the School’s established reputation and expertise in sustainability, urbanism and computation, we address three imminent challenges facing society: the profound impact of climate change and the role architecture plays in it; the implication of artificial intelligence to human agency; and the imperative of social justice and the need for greater equity, inclusion and intersectionality in the construction of our built environment.
This position aligns with the core missions of the School's NAAB-accredited Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch) and Master of Architecture (M.Arch) programs – to train architects in the creative and professional practice of architecture leading to licensure. We are seeking candidates with interest and experience in comprehensive building design who can promote and expand innovative professional design practices.
Open Date: October 4, 2024
