About The Position

The College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning (DAAP) at the University of Cincinnati invites applications for a tenure track architecture faculty position in the School of Architecture and Interior Design at the rank of Assistant Professor. The Assistant Professor's teaching, research, and service to the School, College, and the greater design community will contribute to the School's initiatives and programs and will support the University of Cincinnati's mission and commitment to excellence in our students, faculty, staff, and all of our activities. The core mission of the School of Architecture and Interior Design is to prepare students for critical engagement with practice. The program promotes leadership, collaboration, intellectual depth, flexibility, and teamwork. The foundation of our education at UC remains a liberal arts education, which provides a broad basis for understanding the role of architecture within a cultural and historical context; and a professional curriculum that is enriched with elective seminars, lectures and design studios that provide opportunities to engage in travel/study programs, experimental projects, and service-learning. Students alternate these more traditional academic experiences with periods of professional experience through our landmark cooperative education program (co-op). The School of Architecture and Interior Design (SAID) confers an accredited professional degree in Interior Design (BSID); an accredited first professional graduate degree in Architecture (M Arch); an undergraduate degree in Architecture (BS Arch); a post-professional degree (MS Arch); a Master in Urban Design (MUD); and a Ph.D. degree in architecture. There are approximately 110 Masters of Architecture students, 16 PhD students, and a total of 688 students in the School and 25 full-time faculty.
