Work at CED

The Creedon Fellow will be expected to commence in Fall 2027 for a one-year term, with the possibility of extension for a second year depending on the research program and departmental needs. The appointment will be at the level of Lecturer 50%/Research Specialist 50%. The successful candidate is expected to contribute to the College’s collective intellectual life and engage in critical, theoretical, and/or creative work. This work will be presented through a public lecture and exhibition. The Fellow may be asked to teach in both graduate and undergraduate programs, in both coordinated and independent formats. The teaching load will consist of three courses per academic year-two design studios and a seminar related to their research/creative work. Studio assignments will be determined based on department needs in conjunction with the Fellow’s interests. The Fellow will be assigned an office space within the College’s Bauer Wurster Hall to carry out their work. Further resources, depending on need and availability, may be provided.

The Department of Architecture invites applications for a full-time tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor in Computation and Design Methods. We seek candidates whose work examines and/or demonstrates promise in applying computation as a creative, social, and technical force in architectural design, connecting systems, tools, and intelligent environments to questions of authorship, agency, governance, participation, and the changing responsibilities of design. “Computation and Design Methods” names a broad area of inquiry concerned with how tools, systems, data, media, and methods shape architectural design, representation, research, and practice. Its primary concern is the study and making of socio-technical systems through which design activity is organized, coordinated, and governed, and design artifacts are generated, represented, and evaluated. Possible areas of focus include technically-oriented subjects such as building information modeling, digital twins, spatial data systems, and urban information systems; methodological inquiry such as feedback systems, human-building interaction, participation, distributed agency, and self-regulating processes; and sociotechnical and critical research such as platform studies, civic data, public-interest technology, and built-environment science and technology studies. Across these areas, the field asks how computation operates in architectural design as means, as material, and as media, ultimately shaping how the built environment is experienced and inhabited over time. That is: as a way of making and evaluating design work, as a technical substrate shaped and incorporated into designed artifacts, and as a system that acts back on design practice and culture.

The Department of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning seeks to fill a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level. The successful candidate is expected to contribute to contemporary design discourse on “Landscape and Eco-Technology” through disciplinary engagement, teaching, research and/or practice. This position will allow the department to carry forward its legacy of leadership in service of the State of California, the nation, and the wider world. It also will further the department’s disciplinary knowledge on public infrastructure through teaching, design, and/or research in material, vegetal, topographical, and hydrologic landscape systems. We seek a colleague whose approach encompasses cultural meaning and critical discourse as well as performance-based assessment and design engagement.

The Department of City and Regional Planning invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant, Associate or Full Professor position in urban planning with a focus on housing. Housing is a core focus in the department, reflected in its research, curriculum, and public engagement, and in its deep ties to the Terner Center for Housing Innovation, one of the nation’s leading applied housing research organizations. We seek a colleague who will deepen Berkeley’s leadership in housing research and help shape its future direction. Cities and regions worldwide face intensifying housing challenges, including affordability, climate change, displacement, and homelessness. We seek candidates whose research agenda has defined, or promises to define, important directions in housing scholarship, and whose work has received national and international recognition relative to their career stage. We welcome applications from scholars with interests and expertise in housing planning and policy across national and global contexts and using any of a number of research methods, in areas including but not limited to: zoning, land use, and housing supply; alternative tenure and ownership models; local, regional, state, and federal-level housing policy; governance of housing markets and planning; financialization of housing; housing instability, human health, and homelessness; the reshaping of housing needs by displacement, migration, and demographic shifts; the influence of emerging technologies on housing typologies and markets; and regulatory frameworks and policies influencing housing decarbonization. We are particularly interested in scholars using novel methods of data analysis and new data sources.
