Description of Work

The faculty of the Architecture Program invites applicants to join a design school within a land-grant institution where faculty merge teaching, research/creative activity, and service/engagement with the university and community. We seek highly motivated candidates versed in the discipline of architecture with a proven track record of integrating design teaching with a progressive design research agenda. The ideal candidate should demonstrate a complementary relationship between research and design, with a particular emphasis on design research as a projective activity. This candidate may employ methods from the humanities and/or sciences to understand and explore design and/or issues related to design or elevate design as a form of research in its own right. The successful candidate will teach undergraduate and graduate design studios, courses, and seminars in their area of expertise.

The Architecture Program pursues an innovative design research curriculum in which faculty interests, evolving pedagogies, and engagement combine in a creative environment that balances experimentation and innovation with professional and environmental responsibility. Our NAAB -accredited Architecture Program consists of a Bachelor of Science in Design followed by a 2-year M.Arch degree. The program also offers a 3-year M.Arch degree. The College of Architecture (Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Interior Design, Community & Regional Planning, and various minors, including Product Design) promotes cross-disciplinary collaboration while maintaining a commitment to academic accreditation, student performance, and service to the future of its constituent professions. This is accomplished through our commitment to creating a resilient, healthy, and beautiful world within a diverse and inclusive culture of rigorous inquiry and innovation, united by the transformative power of planning and design. At the University of Nebraska–Lincoln diversity, equity, and inclusion are central to our mission and pursuit of excellence.
