Tenure Track Assistant Professor - Architectural Design for Building Performance
The deadline for the receipt of applications is Monday, November 5, 2018
The Department of Architecture at the University of California Berkeley is conducting an international search for a full-time position in Architectural Design for Building Performance at the rank of Assistant Professor, tenure-track, with an expected start date of July 1, 2019.
As our buildings and communities are increasingly affected by climate change and resource scarcity, architecture plays an important role for sustainable and resilient built environments. The Department of Architecture seeks to appoint faculty whose creative work, scholarship, and teaching focuses on architectural design of high-performance buildings. Applicants should have design expertise as well as analytic knowledge of building energy performance and resource conservation strategies. Such strategies could include passive heating and cooling, lighting and daylighting, water use technologies, building envelopes, or systems for occupant comfort. We seek candidates with a strong record and trajectory of research and creative work in the form of built work, design competitions, publications, research grants, or design awards.
The position involves teaching introductory, core and advanced design studios in the undergraduate and graduate programs on sustainable principles of building design and operation, as well as seminar and lecture courses on related building performance topics. Faculty are expected to produce creative work and research at the highest level, to contribute to national and international scholarship and debate, and to work collaboratively with colleagues.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are core values in the College of Environmental Design. Reflecting the long tradition of the Department of Architecture, we are committed to attracting talented faculty, students, and staff who share our commitment to these values.
Basic Qualifications: Applicants must hold a professional degree in Architecture (B.Arch., M.Arch., or equivalent international degree) at time of application. In the case of a B.Arch. (or equivalent international degree), an additional graduate degree (such as an M.A., M.S. or Ph.D.) is required at time of application.
