Senior Lecturer in Architectural Design and Contemporary Technologies

Applications are invited for the position of Senior Lecturer in Architectural Design and Contemporary Technologies within the Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture. The post-holder will have experience of conceiving and delivering high quality and research-led pedagogy in architecture, as well as a significant track record of internationally recognised research.

Candidates will have a broad interest in contemporary technological developments and the ways they are affecting processes of design and realisation of architecture, and demonstrable expertise in some areas of this. We are looking for evidence of work that is investigative and exploratory, with strong conceptual underpinnings.

In addition, the post-holder is expected to have a track record of delivering successful teaching and learning in higher education, and some academic leadership and management experience with evidence of successful implementation of subject related initiatives, events and/or projects.

The successful candidate will be a dynamic, creative and effective scholar and teacher able to make significant contributions related to their specific expertise and interests to a range of programmes in ESALA. Within the professional programmes, BA/MA (Hons) Architecture and/or MArch, the appointee will be able to devise and lead exciting and critical design studios that explore possibilities for practice driven by contemporary technological developments. In addition, the post-holder will have the opportunity to contribute to appropriate courses within ESALA’s important platform of postgraduate taught programmes. Applicants should be prepared to demonstrate their expertise and ability to attract and supervise doctoral students pursuing their research by both thesis and ‘by design’ (creative practice) routes, and experience of having secured funding for research projects is required.

The post is full-time (35 hours/week) and open-ended.

Closing date: 5pm (GMT) Wednesday 28th February 2018.
