SCAD Savannah seeks a full-time Professor of Architecture to instruct an array of talented students. At SCAD, architecture students learn to apply historical, cultural, theoretical, and aesthetic concepts in combination with technical and practical expertise to design buildings that add value to the world and how people experience it.

In this position, you will lead architectural design studio courses in all areas of the curriculum and will lead additional required and elective courses in your area of expertise. Particular strengths in sustainability, prototyping, and parametric design are highly valued. You will contribute to the BFA program, the NAAB accredited M.Arch program, and—with the university’s growing enrollment—the Integrated Path to Architectural Licensure (IPAL) bridging students from undergraduate through the graduate program to successful completion of the architectural registration exams.

Housed in the SCAD School of Building Arts, the architecture department also leads study abroad programs at the university’s location in Lacoste, France.

This global network of libraries, museums, galleries, and signature events provides unparalleled opportunities for students to explore the emergence of innovative forms of expression and engage in scholarly research.

The ideal candidate must have a professional degree in architecture. Candidates with proven knowledge and experience successfully completing projects in the built environment, leveraging innovative building technologies, and communicating effortlessly with a diverse student body across all disciplines in the School of Building Arts are strongly preferred. The successful candidate will add critical knowledge and experience in building design technologies to the department's expertise, as well as an ability to support the university study abroad programs, including SCAD Lacoste.
