The successful candidate should have the potential and be willing to engage in high-impact teaching of core construction specialization in undergraduate and graduate courses, innovative and collaborative research, and/or scholarly outreach and service activities. The Building Construction Science program is unique in its project-based learning model (via studios) in which students work on team projects/ problem-based tasks via extended class time in collaboration with peers (within and outside specialization) and under guidance of instructors to enhance their content knowledge, technical and managerial competencies, and leadership & team skills. The vision of the Building Construction Science Department is to be a global leader in education, research, and innovation in the built environment. The mission is to create stimulating learning experiences for our students by engaging them in the discovery of techniques and management of construction processes and projects. The Department of Building Construction Science (BCS) in the College of Architecture, Art, and Design invites applications for a nine-month, full-time, non tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant Professor of Practice level starting in August of 2025.
