The School of Architecture at Princeton University invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track faculty position in the area of the history and theory of architecture.

In particular, candidates must demonstrate a capacity to act as an adviser to Ph.D. students working on topics related to their area of scholarship. The successful candidate will hold a Ph.D. A record of teaching lecture and seminar courses in the history and theory of architecture is required. It is expected that the successful candidate will also actively participate in the design curriculum through design reviews, at the undergraduate and graduate levels, beyond their normal course offerings.
