Description
The Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) School of Architecture (SoA) invites applications for the position of Adjunct Faculty to teach a course in the history of Asian Architecture. The individual should demonstrate the ability to teach architectural history as an inclusive endeavor that may also include urbanism, material culture, and art. The parameters of the course are flexible, but it is anticipated that this course will be a mid-level undergraduate elective that covers a broad chronological and geographic swath through East, South, and Southeast Asia through the 20th-century. Candidates with teaching experience and a degree in Architectural History are preferred.
Candidates in Pennsylvania, California, New York, Virginia and Washington, DC may have the option of teaching remotely.
School Description
The School of Architecture is one of five schools, alongside the Schools of Art, Design, Drama and Music in the College of Fine Arts. The School offers two Bachelors programs (BA and B.Arch), seven Masters programs including the professional Master of Architecture, and four doctoral programs. Our student body totals over 400 undergraduate and graduate students. Carnegie Mellon University is classified as an "R1: Doctoral University – Highest Research Activity" institution. As such, a wide range of transdisciplinary educational and research opportunities are supported at the school, college and/or university.
Our school’s philosophy is to provide deep immersion in the discipline of architecture, expanded by a university culture of interdisciplinarity and creative inquiry. Our undergraduate and graduate degree programs prepare students to be excellent, discipline-defining design-thinkers in diverse global contexts. We believe that architectural excellence demands both rigorous training in fundamentals and the development of unique expertise - whether the sciences, the humanities, engineering, or computation. Though each of our students graduate with intensive architecture knowledge, no two graduates leave with the same education.
Our programs take advantage of:
