University of Kansas Announces Two Faculty Position Openings


The Forum at Marvin Hall, University of Kansas

The University of Kansas is pleased to announce two faculty position openings. Application review begins 15 November 2021.

> Assistant/Associate Professor of Architecture with Performance-Driven Design and Building Integration

 The School of Architecture & Design at the University of Kansas invites applications for a tenure/tenure-track position of Assistant or Associate Professor of Architecture with an emphasis in Performance-Driven Design and Building Integration beginning in the fall of 2022. Architects are increasingly expected to incorporate performance-driven design knowledge and research into the integration of building systems and programs. This knowledge area is especially relevant in buildings that protect the health, safety and welfare of building occupants and the public. Methods of performance-driven design also demonstrate the measurable impact of processes of built environments that are sustainable, healthy, socio-culturally equitable, and economically viable. This position will be central in implementingcoursework in this area of knowledge in the professional and graduate curricula, fostering funded research in performance-driven design theories and methods, and coordinating professional and academic programs offering certifications in performance-driven methods of building evaluation. The faculty is committed to excellence in applying our knowledge and experience in educating the next generation of architects. The Department seeks candidates who can contribute to its core purpose as described above.

> Assistant/Associate Professor of Architecture with Advanced Building Technology and Digital Applications

 The School of Architecture & Design at the University of Kansas invites applications for a tenure/tenure-track position of Assistant or Associate Professor of Architecture with an emphasis in Advanced Building Technology and Digital Applications beginning in the fall of 2022. The process of designing and constructing buildings demands that architects are knowledgeable in the most current fabrication and systems integration theories and methods. The advance of design and fabrication methods linked to digital processing is rapidly changing the ways architects imagine and execute building projects and commissions. This position will be central in implementing coursework in thisarea of knowledge in the professional and graduate curricula, fostering funded research and industry partnerships in advanced building technologies, and coordinating existing and future programs and facilities in the School’s digital fabrication, robotics and printing labs. This position will also strengthen and develop programs in building performance, sustainable design, and social equity in the built environment. The faculty is committed to excellence in applying our knowledge and experience in our educating the next generation of architects. The Department seeks candidates who can contribute to its core purpose as described above.
