Assistant/Associate Teaching Professor of Design for Environmental Justice and Public Good in the Built Environment, Architecture

About Northeastern:
Founded in 1898, Northeastern is a global research university and the recognized leader in experience-driven lifelong learning. Our world-renowned experiential approach empowers our students, faculty, alumni, and partners to create impact far beyond the confines of discipline, degree, and campus.

Our locations—in Boston; Charlotte, North Carolina; London; Portland, Maine; San Francisco; Seattle; Silicon Valley; Toronto; Vancouver; and the Massachusetts communities of Burlington and Nahant—are nodes in our growing global university system. Through this network, we expand opportunities for flexible, student-centered learning and collaborative, solutions-focused research.

Northeastern's comprehensive array of undergraduate and graduate programs— in a variety of on-campus and online formats—lead to degrees through the doctorate in nine colleges and schools. Among these, we offer more than 195 multi-discipline majors and degrees designed to prepare students for purposeful lives and careers.

About the Opportunity:
The School of Architecture in the College of Arts, Media and Design invites applications and nominations for a fulltime or 2/3 full-time Teaching Professor position to expand our vibrant teaching and research initiatives for our undergraduate and graduate Architecture and Landscape Architecture programs.

Responsibilities:
We seek candidates who will lead classes in the area of environmental justice and design for public good in the built environment. This position will entail teaching two or three courses per fall and spring semesters (4-6 courses per academic year) on subjects relevant to their specific expertise areas, such as urban analysis, mapping, data collection, simulations and design, housing design, infrastructure and landscape design, ethical and equitable urban development and engagement practices, and/or ethical professional practice. Such topics might draw from faculty experiences in both professional and academic experiences as well as local (Boston and Northeast USA) and/or global experiences. Class formats may range between design studios, seminars and/or lectures.

Northeastern University offers rich opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration between the design, planning, management, science and engineering of urban environments. The position offers a one-year contract in the School of Architecture in the College of Arts, Media and Design.

The School of Architecture has three distinct advantages. One, the faculty conducts courses of study in a strong diversity of practices, including architectural design, history and professional practice, urban landscape and sustainable coastal environments, market-driven building types, and building technology and performance. Two, we are located within a major private global research university and a leader in worldwide experiential learning, urban engagement and interdisciplinary research. Also, the College has a unique combination of disciplines, including Architecture, Art + Design, Game Design, Communication Studies, Journalism, Media and Screen Studies, Music, and Theatre. Three, we are in Boston, a thriving urban center of culture and innovation with extensive global connections.
