The Department of Architecture within the College of Engineering, Technology, and Architecture (CETA) at the University of Hartford seeks three full-time, tenure-track faculty members at the rank of Assistant Professor with responsibilities to teach undergraduate and graduate courses in Structures, Design Studio, Professional Practice, and History/Theory, as relevant to the position. The teaching load for each position is 18 credits per academic year.

• Responsibilities for Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in Structures: Candidates should have knowledge and expertise in the field of structures, innovative structural design, integrated building structural systems, and sustainable construction, materials, and building. Candidates should show a willingness and ability to employ state-of-the-art simulation software and technology in teaching structural design courses. Successful candidates will teach one or more sections of ADT 355 Strength of Materials, ADT 474 Design of Steel and Wood Structures, ADT 484 Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures, and ARC 523 Advanced Structural Systems.
  
  They may also contribute to undergraduate and graduate-level design studios in architecture, supporting the integration of structural knowledge within design education, dependent on the candidate’s qualifications and experience.
• Responsibilities for Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in Design Studio and Professional Practice: Candidates should have knowledge and expertise in architectural design pedagogy, professional practice, and construction systems. They should demonstrate knowledge in project delivery methods and emerging technologies in professional practice. They should be willing and able to incorporate digital tools, BIM workflows, and collaborative methodologies in teaching practice-based courses and design studios.
  
  The successful applicant will ordinarily teach undergraduate design studios throughout the curriculum and professional practice courses such as ADT 112 Introduction to the Built Environment, ADT 232 Materials and Methods of Construction, and ADT 242 Construction Documents. Depending on departmental needs and applicant qualifications, they may also teach graduate-level studios and courses such as ARC 623 Advanced Professional Practice.
• Responsibilities for Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in Design Studio and History/Theory: Candidates should have knowledge and expertise in architectural history, theory, and design pedagogy, with a demonstrated ability to connect historical and theoretical inquiry to contemporary design practice. They should be knowledgeable about global architectural histories and critical theory. They should integrate historical and theoretical frameworks into design education and are encouraged to employ digital and experiential learning tools, including visualization and archives.
  
  The successful applicant will ordinarily teach a combination of undergraduate design studios and history/theory courses, including ADT 350 Introduction to Architectural Theory, ADT 155 Ancient through Renaissance Architecture, or ADT 156 Architecture Since the Renaissance. Depending on expertise, there may also be opportunities to teach graduate-level theory, design studios, or elective seminars.

For all three positions, there may be opportunities to teach innovative general education and interdisciplinary courses. Candidates are expected to demonstrate a commitment to inclusive excellence, defined by the University as fostering a vibrant campus community where every student, staff member, and faculty colleague feels rooted, empowered to flourish, and inspired to achieve their highest potential. All faculty members are expected to remain active in creative/scholarly pursuits and seek opportunities for professional development and/or peer-reviewed publications.
