University of Idaho Architecture Program invites applications to apply for a tenure track position at the rank of Assistant Professor based in Moscow. We seek educators who are enthusiastic about architecture, excited to teach design, love working with students, have a strong desire to work collaboratively, demonstrate an ability to do high-quality research, and are determined to make a difference in the world.

All candidates should demonstrate excellent verbal, written, and graphic design communication skills.

Emphasis: Design + Pedagogy
The primary focus of this search is for candidates that can demonstrate inventiveness and expertise in teaching design studio at all levels. We seek applicants for a Design Plus position in which faculty will engage in design studio teaching alongside an area of specialization such as Sustainable Building Technology, Architectural Systems, or Representation.

As a program, we thrive on our studio faculty's diverse interests. Candidates who seek knowledge ranging from the poetic implications of building assemblies in design, to the impacts of socio/historical/cultural/political factors on design, to the connections between theory and making, to the potential of advanced graphic communication to propel design thinking will be seen to add meaningful breadth to our studio faculty.

The successful faculty candidate will communicate the power of effective design in their work, be able to discuss the intellectual investments of both their work and their design pedagogy and provide examples of innovative design teaching and research. Successful candidates will also be able to articulate a clear research agenda and demonstrate a commitment to producing peer-reviewed work. We are particularly interested in candidates that fortify and extend current U of I Architecture Department strengths in hands-on education, architectural outreach, and design/build explorations.

Finally, we hold in the highest regard those candidates who not only exemplify the qualities described above, but who are energetic, collegial, and highly motivated to contribute to the greater good of a successful and dynamic architecture department.

(1) Teaching design studios, required lecture courses, and seminars at undergraduate and graduate levels; (2) producing peer-reviewed scholarship and/or creative work, possibly critical architectural practice; (3) performing service through program, college, and university committees as well as service beyond the university.
