Description

The Department of Architecture at Cal Poly Pomona invites applications for the position of Assistant Professor of Architecture, appointment effective Fall 2027. Our mission is to equip students with the necessary tools to become responsible professionals, motivated by civic duty and engagement. Central to that mission is an enduring commitment to integrative design practices essential to preparing students for professional practice and licensure.

Duties and responsibilities:
The new faculty member will teach and coordinate architecture core studios (1st, 2nd, or 3rd year), upper-level elective design studios, lecture courses, and elective seminars within the B.Arch and M.Arch programs. The new faculty member will also contribute to department, college, and university operations through service, and will maintain creative and scholarly activities that inform their teaching. We are particularly interested in candidates who can lead courses and curriculum that meet the NAAB SC.6 Building Integration requirement. This requirement ensures that students develop the ability to make design decisions within architectural projects while demonstrating integration of building envelope systems and assemblies, structural systems, environmental control systems, life safety systems, and measurable building performance outcomes.

Consideration of completed applications will begin on September 14, 2026 (11:59pm PST), and will continue until the position is filled.
