Position description
The Department of Architecture at the University of California, Berkeley, invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor in the History and Theory of Architecture, beginning Fall 2025.
We invite applications from architectural scholars whose research addresses the vital and urgent issues of our day through a historical and theoretical lens. We especially welcome candidates whose work and teaching engage dynamically with the intersectional nature of architecture, including (but not limited to) topics such as the Global South, environmental history, migration, disability, gender, sexuality, inequality, race, and Science and Technology Studies.
The successful candidate will demonstrate outstanding scholarship, teaching, and the ability to participate creatively in the History, Theory, and Society (HTS) subject area within the Department of Architecture, contributing to our B.A., M.Arch, M.S. and Ph.D. degree programs. HTS addresses the history and theory of architecture and urbanism from a humanistic, interdisciplinary perspective. Furthermore, we value the ability to work collaboratively with other areas of the department, including Architectural Design and Building Science, Technology and Sustainability, and the potential for receiving grants. Responsibilities of the position include teaching a required introductory lecture course at the undergraduate level, possible involvement in the undergraduate survey of architecture, and both undergraduate and graduate seminars in the applicant's area of expertise. Additional responsibilities include advising undergraduate, M.Arch, M.S., and Ph.D. students, as well as service to the department, college, and university.
