The School of Architecture and Cities is one of the leading schools of architecture in the U.K. Based at the University’s Marylebone Campus, the School enjoys outstanding purpose-built studios and a world-class Fabrication Laboratory featuring extensive digital and analogue workshops. Maintaining its Polytechnic origins, the School offers a transformative education for all. The School’s professionally accredited undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in architecture and cognate disciplines are characterised by a triangulation of teaching, practice and research, combining practical skills and rigorous academic understanding with cross-disciplinary practice. Recent coursework can be seen here.
As the School moves to a paradigm of architectural education based on regenerative principles, we wish to appoint a Lecturer in Regenerative Technical Design. The post-holder will have expert knowledge of techniques and practices that treat the natural and built environment as a single generative continuum, and demonstrate an ability to help students synthesise that knowledge into their design practice. They will be expected to contribute to undergraduate and postgraduate architectural education as part of our technical and environmental studies team and be expected to actively support our diverse student body.
The postholder will be an active researcher, and develop their research and knowledge exchange as part of the School’s Making & Practice Research Group.Other contributions may include the supervision of PhDs, the instigation of new research and knowledge exchange projects and applications for external funding, as well as publishing scholarly outputs, and contributing to the broader research culture within the School.
Applicants should have a Post-Graduate Degree or Professional Qualification or equivalent level of knowledge or practice-based experience, teaching experience and a research or knowledge exchange background or well-established professional expertise. As well a full time appointment, we would consider appointing two 0.5 FTE part-time lecturers for the role.
