As part of the University’s ongoing commitment to redeployment, please note that this vacancy may be withdrawn at any stage of the recruitment process if a suitable redeployee is identified.
The School of Architecture, Building and Civil Engineering is seeking an outstanding colleague dedicated to a full-time teaching and scholarship role on its highly regarded undergraduate degree programme in Architecture. The programme builds on the University’s heritage in design and making, with some of its earliest pedagogical philosophies taking in ‘training on production’ and ‘learning through doing’. The architect-maker ethos is embedded throughout our teaching and is celebrated in the design and production of an annual pavilion, a ‘live’ school design project, artistic installations and annual summer school workshops with international collaborators. This is an exciting opportunity for you to help us deliver an outstanding student experience. Formulating project briefs and module content will require knowledge of the substantive content, underpinning methodologies, as well as assessment procedures and good practice. The post holder will work closely with Academic staff to develop a high-quality pedagogy that ensures the programme is delivered to a high standard.
We are looking for a trained architect, ideally professionally qualified, with practical experience of working in architectural practice. Applicants with additional experience or knowledge in one or more of the following architecture areas are particularly encouraged to apply: Architectural technology (materials, construction, structures), Design theory and practice (design studio), Cultural context (history and theory) and Professional Practice.
The successful appointee will join the School’s architecture group, the members of which have a wide range of interests that include: urban theory and studies, material and construction technology, design practice and climate based daylight modelling.
