• Field of Specialization: Design and Building Technologies

The Azrieli School of Architecture & Urbanism at Carleton University invites applications from qualified candidates for a preliminary (tenure-track) appointment at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor commensurate with experience.

We seek applicants with a deep understanding of how buildings are assembled and what role architecture plays in exacerbating or mitigating the climate crisis— with an emphasis on construction for cold climates. Professional or research areas of specialization might include but are not limited to materials and material systems, building performance simulation and evaluation, building envelope design, rehabilitation-renewal of 20th century buildings, and climate-mitigation construction strategies. Whether rooted in professional practice or research, successful candidates will situate their work within a decolonial and anti-racist framework. Applicants may for example interrogate the seemingly straightforward paradigms of building construction by addressing complex ecological relationships, labour practices as they relate to material choices and assemblies, and assumptions about the built environments of marginalized communities. Through both teaching and research, the incumbent will open the field of building technology to embrace complex, transdisciplinary challenges of our time.

The Azrieli School of Architecture & Urbanism offers instruction in architecture to undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students. The successful applicant’s teaching may occur at any or all these levels and will include studios and general core courses in the technical stream of our pre-professional and professional programs, as well as specialized seminars and supervision of thesis students.

Occupying traditional, unceded Anishinaabe territory, the Azrieli School of Architecture & Urbanism brings together a vibrant student community of diverse backgrounds in an iconic building that was designed for its purpose and serves as an active pedagogical tool. State of the art wood and metal shops, digital media labs, gallery and studios support the school’s enduring commitment to craft and making. We offer a Bachelor of Architecture Studies (BAS) with majors in Architectural Design, Conservation and Sustainability, and Urbanism; 2 and 3 year Master of Architecture options; a post-professional Master in Architectural Studies; and a PhD in Architecture. The School fosters a research-intensive culture supported by dynamic research labs and a growing faculty with diverse scholarly interests. Please see: https://architecture.carleton.ca/assets .

The School enjoys multidisciplinary collaborations with departments throughout Carleton University and is increasingly invested in national mandates for truth and reconciliation and in local and global debates around social and spatial justice. Further information on the School is available here: http://carleton.ca/architecture/.
