Dalhousie University

The Faculty of Architecture and Planning invites applications for a tenure-track appointment within the School of Architecture, supported by the Dalhousie Diversity Faculty Award. We are looking for a scholar or practitioner who is deeply committed to advancing equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility (EDIA) within the architectural field. The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of architectural education and practice at Dalhousie, bringing a perspective that addresses systemic inequities and enriches the academic and professional development of our students.

In this role, you will be responsible for developing and delivering innovative courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, with a particular focus on integrating EDIA principles into the curriculum. You will engage in research that not only advances the field of architecture but also critically examines and responds to contemporary environmental, social and technological challenges through the lens of diversity and inclusion.

This position also involves significant service commitments, including mentoring students – especially those from BIPOC and underrepresented communities – fostering an inclusive academic environment, and engaging with local communities through outreach initiatives. You will liaise between the School of Architecture and Indigenous, African Nova Scotian, Black, and other racialized communities, ensuring that our work is relevant and responsive to their needs.

As a tenure-track faculty member, you will have the opportunity to build a robust research portfolio, contribute to the governance and strategic direction of the School, and collaborate with colleagues across the university. The successful candidate will be instrumental in helping the School of Architecture fulfill its mission to produce socially responsible architects who are equipped to meet the challenges of a diverse and changing world.
