Assistant Professor, School of Architecture (T/TE)

1. Advance Computational and Performance-Driven Design

Contribute to a research-intensive university where architectural design critically engages technology and the environment. We welcome individuals whose work integrates computational design, performance modeling, and emerging tools such as artificial intelligence to address the complex relationships among people, buildings, and ecosystems.

2. Collaborate Across Disciplines to Address Global Challenges

Join a dynamic academic community with strong connections to Sustainable Built Environments, Landscape Architecture, and Urban Planning, as well as to university-wide initiatives in Energy, Environment, Water, Health, Data, and AI. This position offers the opportunity to cultivate diverse partnerships that advance interdisciplinary research aligned with the University's strategic research areas.

3. Teach and Research in the Living Laboratory of the Sonoran Desert

Engage in a distinctive pedagogical and research context where the built environment is inseparable from its desert setting. Tucson's rich ecological and cultural landscape provides an unparalleled opportunity to explore architecture's role in adaptation, material and energy flows, and climate-responsive design.

We seek a new and committed colleague for a tenure-track
position at The University of Arizona, a Research 1 university located in
Tucson, a cultural gem in the Southwest. The faculty member hired will be a
current or future leader who expands the boundaries of innovative and
experimental design with approaches informed by computational design,
performance modeling, and/or advanced digital tools such as AI. The work will
engage these tools with the aim of addressing grand social and environmental
challenges, such as environmental impact and ecosystem degradations, including
energy, water, air, and/or material flows and applications.

Our new colleague will actively build new collaborations
with faculty in the School of Architecture and in allied disciplines including
Sustainable Built Environments, Landscape Architecture and/or Urban Planning.
Within the broader context of the University, there is potential for a wide
network of partnerships programs centered on resilience, AI and data,
environment, energy, health, and water. The candidate may demonstrate alignment
with one or more of the university's key research areas: 1) Data, Information
Systems and Artificial Intelligence; 2) Energy, Mining, and Environmental
Sustainability; 3) The Future of Health and Biomedical Sciences; 4) The Human
Experience; 5) National Security; 6) Space Sciences.

The School of Architecture at The University of
Arizona's regards the local built environment as inseparable from the Sonoran
Desert, where generations of people have thrived in an extreme climate. With
growing enrollments enriching our already dynamic, and engaged student
body, our program seeks new colleagues aligned with our mission to "address
complex social and environmental issues, locally and globally, through
professional education, critical inquiry, research and innovation.
