Position Description: |
Department of Architecture Assistant or Associate Professor in Architectural Design The Department of Architecture in the College of Architecture, Art, and Planning at Cornell University invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track faculty position in architectural design.Architecture at Cornell dates back to the founding of the institution; it is one of the oldest programs of its kind and has a long and distinguished tradition of design, scholarship, and teaching. Degree programs in the department include a professional bachelor of architecture (B.Arch.); a professional master of architecture (M.Arch.); a post-professional master of science (M.S.) in advanced architectural design; M.S. degrees in computer graphics and matter design computation; and a Ph.D. in the history of architecture and urban development. The new M.S. degree in matter design computation and state-of-the-art facilities — including the OMA designed Milstein Hall and the recently completed Mui Ho Fine Arts Library — reflect both a continuing commitment to excellence and an ongoing renewal of architectural education at Cornell. Cornell architecture students and faculty have opportunities to take advantage of the Rand Hall Fabrication Shop, a world-renowned library collection, and participate in an expanded global footprint that includes AAP NYC (https://aap.cornell.edu/academics/nyc), Cornell Tech (https://www.tech.cornell.edu), and Cornell in Rome (https://aap.cornell.edu/academics/rome).

Areas of expertise might both broaden and/or deepen one or more of the following areas: urbanism, discourse & culture, digital fabrication & material research, design ecology & climate change, computational methodologies & structure, design & technology, and representational tactics & new media. Successful candidates should be interested in pursuing interdisciplinary collaboration across the department, college, or university — through labs, centers, critical practices, or individual collaborations across Cornell and beyond.
