University of Virginia

The University of Virginia School of Architecture seeks emerging designers and educators for the Virginia Architecture Fellowship. This one-year, non-tenure track Assistant Professor position is renewable for up to two years and focuses on research and teaching. Candidates should have strong design experience across various scales and project types, with cross-disciplinary interests connecting architecture with landscape architecture, architectural history, and urban and environmental planning.

Fellows will join as full-time Assistant Professors, General Faculty, to develop a one-year creative research project and pedagogy. They will benefit from mentorship and a reduced teaching load of three courses in their first year while pursuing a research project to be exhibited in the spring. Successful fellows may have their appointments renewed for a second year upon review.

The Virginia Architecture Fellowships provide a gateway into academia and support the development of research and teaching trajectories. These positions provide an opportunity to teach studios and courses in areas related to the candidate’s expertise, resources for the development of research, venues to share work with the broader school community, and opportunities to interact in an intellectually diverse, creative environment. In addition to three courses and service expectations as determined by the department chair, fellows are invited to work as individuals and collaborate across the school and the university. The School of Architecture and UVA promote and facilitate design excellence and impact by encouraging cross-disciplinary collaboration, providing mentorship, and supporting research development, within the school and across the university. Researchers and designers utilize library systems and recently renovated studio, shop, and project spaces, providing state of the art facilities for creative work, scholarly inquiry, and collaborative research.

We invite submissions of design experience and project proposals for review by a faculty committee, followed by remote interviews. Successful candidates for this position must have a terminal degree in Architecture (MArch) or a comparable degree in a related field. Licensure and/or an advanced degree in an area of specialization are encouraged.
