• Preferred Qualifications: Preference may be given to applicants with prior teaching experience, a record of professional practice in landscape architecture, and a professional degree in a related field.
• Applicants for courses addressing specific subjects are also given consideration based on the course needs; they must have an advanced degree or proven expertise in the topic.
• Applicants should have substantive knowledge of the landscape architecture field and/or the subject matter which they will be teaching. Individuals with multidisciplinary education and expertise are strongly encouraged to apply.
