About The Position

The Tulane School of Architecture and Built Environment invites applications for a full-time faculty position in the Design Program at the rank of Professor of Practice. We seek candidates to join our interdisciplinary team with the capacity to teach in their area of specialization, as well as lead coursework across multiple design disciplines, including studios at the introductory level. The TuSABE undergraduate Design program offers a major and minor, with curriculum engaging a range of design disciplines—including graphic, sewn goods, industrial, and interior design—while connecting innovation to cultural, social, and environmental contexts. Preference will be given to candidates with expressed expertise in industrial design or graphic design. All applicants who can advance design pedagogy and critical discourse are encouraged to apply. In addition to demonstrated excellence in studio teaching and creative practice, ideal applicants will bring an interdisciplinary approach to a program that emphasizes both digital and analog fabrication, creative problem-solving, and synergies between traditional design disciplines. Faculty at TuSABE have the opportunity to collaborate with other programs within the school. Salary and academic rank will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. The expected start date is July 1, 2027.
