Clemson University: College of Architecture, Art and Construction: School of Architecture
Penney Endowed Professorship in Architecture

Location: Lee 3-130

Description

The School of Architecture (SoA) at Clemson University announces a search for the Thompson E. Penney and Gretchen M. Penney Distinguished Professorship in Architecture in Evidence-Based Design (EBD). The endowed professorship in EBD will have an academic appointment at Clemson University as a tenure-track or tenured Associate Professor or tenured Professor of Architecture, based on their academic and professional qualifications.

While the primary role of the endowed professorship in EBD will be to conduct research at the highest level, the successful candidate will also be expected to advise PhD students in the SoA's PhD program and integrate their research agenda within the School to enrich graduate and undergraduate education. The vision for this endowed professorship is that their work will directly impact the practice of architecture and enhance the value of design and professional practice knowledge beyond the academy.

The endowed professorship will be a nationally/internationally renowned scholar who will collaborate with other endowed faculty and students within Clemson as well as with industry partners and the design community to build a vibrant center of research related to architecture and the built environment. Evidence-Based Design is the process of making building design decisions based on scientific research to improve organizational, building performance, and user outcomes. As such, research in architecture at the building and occupant scale (https://www.aia.org/pages/5626-architectural-research) encompasses multiple research directions and areas of exploration including building performance and sustainability, building technology and data analytics in design, innovative materials, building systems, building project delivery and processes, building design, and human performance and well-being. A successful applicant will have an established research agenda in one or more of these areas and will ideally work across multiple areas of exploration.

Qualifications

Minimum requirements for the position include:

1) a PhD in a relevant field,

2) a professional degree in architecture, and

3) an established record of obtaining funding as principal investigator.

Though not required, professional licensure in architecture is highly-preferred. Additionally, the candidate must demonstrate a record of leadership in forming and leading multidisciplinary teams and a strong record of peer-reviewed publications and scholarly work commensurate with the rank of tenured associate or full professor.

Application Instructions

Interested candidates should submit the following materials in digital format:

1) Letter of interest (maximum three pages), that outlines potential collaborative interdisciplinary design research objectives, and how these initiatives can potentially integrate design practice with research, teaching and service objectives;

2) Curriculum vitae;

3) Names and contact information of three references (one page and no letters);

4) Portfolio of relevant professional, scholarly and research work, (maximum ten pages); and

5) A proposal for possible startup funding necessary to support research/scholarship activities (maximum three pages).

All of these documents should be combined in a single PDF file for electronic submission no larger than 10 MB in size. Submit applications via interfolio at: http://apply.interfolio.com/135123

Direct any questions to committee chair, Anjali Joseph, anjalij@clemson.edu.

For full consideration, applications must be received by January 31, 2024. Candidate review will continue until a qualified candidate is hired. Salary is commensurate with experience.
