The Department of Architecture in the College of Architecture, Art, and Planning at Cornell University invites applications for the position of department chairperson.
Architecture at Cornell dates back to the founding of the institution; it is one of the oldest programs of its kind and has a long and distinguished tradition of scholarship and teaching. Professional programs in the Department include both B.Arch. and M.Arch. degrees; other programs include a post-professional masters degree in architecture and an M.A./Ph.D. in the history of architecture and urban development.
New leadership, facilities, and evolving programs reflect both a continuing commitment to excellence and an ongoing renewal of architectural education at Cornell. In particular, the Department and the College seek opportunities for greater interdisciplinary collaboration within the College and the University as a whole -- with its wealth of humanistic, artistic, scientific, and technological resources. Beyond the institution, the Department seeks to build upon its already extensive contacts and interactions both in the U.S. and internationally.
The new chair will have responsibility for the management of the Department’s academic and operational affairs in Ithaca as well as at the College’s longstanding program in Rome and at its recently initiated New York City program. In fulfilling these responsibilities, the chair will work in close collaboration with the department faculty and the college dean.
Desirable qualifications for this position include - A record of distinction in professional practice, research, scholarship, and/or teaching
- Experience in academic administration
- An established commitment to an interdisciplinary approach in education and the profession
