Minimum Qualifications:

A terminal degree appropriate for appointment within one of CED's professional program areas.

The College of Environment and Design (CED) at the University of Georgia invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track Assistant/Associate Professor focused on health and the built environment, broadly defined.

The successful candidate will contribute to one or more of the CED's professional program areas - Historic Preservation, Landscape Architecture, or Urban Planning and Design - and will teach a variety of courses appropriate to their professional background, including lecture- and seminar-based courses (for all program areas) and, where relevant, design studios (for candidates in Landscape Architecture or Urban Planning and Design).

The position provides opportunities to connect with UGA's emerging health initiatives, including the new Medical School, the new School of Nursing, and a forthcoming horticultural therapy certificate program.

Because this is a CED-wide search, candidates' specific teaching and research contributions will vary by professional program area:

Candidates may examine connections between health, community wellbeing, cultural landscapes, environmental justice, adaptive reuse, the heritage of medical- and health-related built environments, or the health implications of historic environments. Teaching may include preservation planning, cultural landscapes, interpretation, preservation theory, or related coursework.

Candidates may focus on health-supportive design, health care facility design, healthy living, therapeutic landscapes, human-environment interactions, or related areas. Teaching responsibilities may include design studios and seminar or lecture courses aligned with expertise.

Candidates may focus on healthy communities planning, environmental justice, transportation and health, or regional planning. Teaching may include planning studios, methods courses, and seminars related to health and the built environment.

This is a tenure-track, 9-month academic-year appointment beginning August…
