The candidate should demonstrate: a) promise in research and scholarship in architectural humanities as evidenced by a dossier of research accomplishment; and b) ability to teach design studio, as evidenced in a design and/or design teaching portfolio. A professional degree in architecture (e.g. BArch or MArch or equivalent) and a PhD are required. The successful candidate will be expected to teach architectural design studio, undergraduate lecture courses in global architectural history and theory, graduate seminars in their specialty, and advance the discipline through research.
