The start date is autumn 2023. The Knowlton School seeks to attract and retain energetic, collegial individuals dedicated to design and research.

Successful candidates will lead design studios and teach classes at the graduate and undergraduate levels. Learn more and apply.

Howard E. LeFevre ’29 Emerging Practitioner Fellowship
The Architecture Section of the Knowlton School seeks candidates for the Howard E. LeFevre ’29 Emerging Practitioner Fellowship. The annual fellowship offers the opportunity and resources for an emerging practitioner to pursue an advanced research project directed toward expanding the boundaries of the discipline. Past fellows have explored a broad range of topics relative to contemporary issues in the discipline and its cultural context. Since 2000, the LeFevre Fellowship has supported architects and designers with a range of research interests, including history, theory, contemporary culture, media, technology, material assembly, and advanced digital techniques. We seek candidates to continue the tradition of supporting innovative research centered on topics relevant to the continued evolution of disciplinary practice. 

The LeFevre Fellowship offers the successful applicant a 9-month fellowship to investigate and develop a research project and to teach in the architecture program. The applicant awarded the fellowship will be asked to teach design studios in which ideas related to their project are considered within the disciplinary context of architecture and to prepare and present a public exhibition. The successful candidate will have a degree in architecture or a related field. The fellowship provides a salary for teaching, a paid Graduate Research Assistant, and a separate research/project materials budget. Learn more and apply.

Assistant Professor of Landscape Architecture
The Landscape Architecture Section at the Knowlton School invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track position at the rank of assistant professor. The section seeks candidates working at the scale of urban design under the broad umbrella of race, justice, and the built environment, and at the intersection of landscape architecture, architecture, and planning.

This hire is part of the multidisciplinary cluster focused on race and the built environment and will be conducted in tandem with the Department of History of Art. Teaching responsibilities for this position include urban design studios, research seminars, and a new, interdisciplinary General Education course in the “Citizenship for a Just and Sustainable World” category. Learn more and apply.
