Lecturer Positions in Architecture Application Closing Date: Ongoing The Department of Architecture invites applications for lecturer positions in our curricular sub-areas for each semester. Lecturers supplement the instructional capability of our program, enriching the breadth of our offerings in both graduate and undergraduate education. Lecturers bring expertise not available from our regular faculty, substitute for regular faculty on leave, and most importantly, bring new voices and experiences to the design studio component of the curriculum. Lecturer selection is determined by departmental needs for each academic year. A faculty committee reviews applications to match these needs with the qualifications of the applicants. A rank-ordered list of qualified applicants is recommended to the department chair, who then makes appointments in consultation with the faculty in specialty areas or with coordinating design faculty. Lecturer appointments typically are short-term; the policy for reappointment may be obtained from the department. You will be contacted by Tom Buresh, Chair, if you have been selected.
