Professor or Professor in the Practice of Design Science

Honoring the legacy of R. Buckminster Fuller as designer, inventor, and scientist who was committed to addressing pressing planetary and societal concerns, this newly established endowed professorship will support a visionary scholar and/or practitioner at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design. We seek individuals who support and expand upon the school’s mission by demonstrating a systemic, ethical, and innovative approach to global issues, through design, of contemporary relevance and urgency. The successful candidate will be appointed within the department that is most appropriate to her or his primary field of expertise but will be expected to bridge between all the disciplines represented in the GSD’s academic departments and programs, as well as establishing collaborative research and pedagogy with other Harvard schools. This position is envisioned as a full-time tenured position, although the committee may also consider a part-time practice position.

Teaching responsibilities will involve a combination of core courses within one or more departments and advanced elective seminars or studios, or other formats that might be considered equivalent.

The successful candidate will demonstrate a record of outstanding research, practice, and teaching that advances one or more disciplines.
