The Architecture Department in the College of Architecture & Environmental Design (CAED) at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, seeks applications for a full-time, tenure-track Assistant Professor to begin September 11, 2025. We invite applications from candidates with expertise in the creative integration of architecture and building technologies including structure, building envelope, materials and assemblies, decarbonization, and construction methods.

Candidate’s scholarship and/or related architectural practice experience should demonstrate the integration of sustainable and resilient building technology systems. In addition, candidates should describe a record of successful teaching in building technology lectures and design studios. Special consideration will be given to applicants who address the interrelationships of social equity, climate, and the built environment in their teaching, scholarship, and/or critical practice.

Primary teaching responsibilities include required building technology lecture courses and related hands-on workshops, technology electives, and may also include undergraduate design studios. The large lecture courses are team-taught and the curriculum co-developed, which provides a rich teaching environment for sharing ideas and expertise to shape coursework and evolve Cal Poly’s long tradition of building technology education.
