https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/27531 One-Year Lecturer Position in Landscape Architecture Position Description and Responsibilities The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) is a pioneer of purpose-driven science and Cornell University's second-largest college. We work across disciplines to tackle the challenges of our time through world-renowned research, education, and outreach. The questions we probe and the answers we seek focus on three overlapping concerns: We believe that achieving next-generation scientific breakthroughs requires an understanding of the world's complex, interlocking systems. We believe that access to nutritious food and a healthy environment is a fundamental human right. We believe that ensuring a prosperous global future depends on the ability to support local people and communities everywhere. By working in and across multiple scientific areas, CALS can address challenges and opportunities of the greatest relevance, here in New York, across the nation, and around the world. Over its 115-year history, Cornell’s Department of Landscape Architecture has achieved national recognition for its excellence in innovative teaching pedagogies that challenge students to become responsible, engaged and creative designers. Our department is adapting to meet the critical issues affecting the planet and its inhabitants through a continued emphasis on the agency of design. The Department of Landscape Architecture at Cornell University seeks applications for a lecturer position to begin fall 2024. This position requires the candidate to have teaching and/or professional practice experience in high quality contemporary design and the ability to teach design studios grounded in the historical and theoretical foundations of the field, particularly in introductory and early-sequence design studios. In addition to graduate and undergraduate studio teaching, the candidate will be expected to have expertise and interest in at least one other area that will allow them to teach workshops, seminars, or technical courses on topics such as ecological infrastructure, site scale applied technologies, social equity and resilience, design theory, and/or other topics in landscape architecture. These courses will contribute to a curriculum that aims to prepare skilled and critical practitioners and researchers, and expand the role of landscape architecture in addressing pressing anthropogenic issues. We seek faculty with innovative professional and/or teaching experience who can contribute to the development of a systematic cultural and ecological foundation for the design of environments. This is a 9-month teaching position paid over 12 months. We anticipate an initial appointment of July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025, with possibility of extension depending on successful performance as well as continued availability of funding.
