The Tulane University School of Architecture and Built Environment (TuSABE) is seeking qualified candidates within the discipline of Architecture to fill multiple positions for Assistant or Associate Professor in Architecture (tenure-track/tenured). Our growing Architecture program seeks candidates whose expertise is integrated into a coherent and compelling design pedagogy, with strong qualifications and enthusiasm for teaching core design studios and core courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

While expertise in history and theory is welcome, candidates are expected to be able to translate these skills into compelling design studio pedagogy.

We are particularly interested in candidates who demonstrate excellence in teaching architectural design studios and in teaching, research, and creative practice in one or more of the following areas:

• Computational Design, Media, and Representation
• Energy Modeling, Circularity, and Decarbonization
• Materials, Methods, Fabrication, and Construction
• Building Tectonics and Structural Design

Successful candidates will support our education mission and teach design studios, lectures, and seminar courses related to their area of expertise. Faculty at TuSABE offer coursework across the Architecture programs (B.Arch, BSA, M.Arch and M.S.ARC) with the opportunity to collaborate with other programs within the School.

The Tulane University School of Architecture and Built Environment provides global leadership through excellence in design, research, and practice in the built environment.
