Posted in General Business 30+ days ago.

Type: Full-Time
Location: Houston, Texas





Job Description:

The CoAD Emerging Scholar Fellowship is a two-year combined research and teaching fellowship awarded to a promising scholar focusing on the history and theory of the design disciplines. The fellowship is addressed specifically to individuals who have completed postgraduate degrees or other rigorous research formats and are beginning or advancing a career of teaching and research. While in residence at the College of Architecture and Design, candidates are expected to develop substantial, timely research that combines a proposed scholarly focus with a pedagogical agenda. The fellowship supports broad historical and theoretical inquiry regarding design and the human-impacted environment from any period or geography and could center on architecture, interior architecture, industrial design, urbanism and urban systems, architectural or environmental technology, design media, and/or professional and disciplinary practices. We specifically seek scholars whose work engages with historically marginalized communities and/or subjects that have been underrepresented or understudied in the scholarly discourse or design of the human-impacted environment.

The Fellow will be expected to teach up to three courses per year, in consultation with the HTC director. This fellowship includes teaching related to the candidate's area of interest, resources for the development of research, opportunities to engage with scholars in the wider context of the University of Houston, and the potential to share the outcomes of the Fellowship within the College through lectures, conferences, or exhibitions. Fellows are expected to spend two years in residence and to teach courses in combination with the pursuit of their research agenda.

The Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture and Design offers its students a platform of integrated disciplines-Architecture, Interior Architecture and Industrial Design-from which to negotiate the complexities of contemporary practice. Our programs foster an atmosphere of creative critical inquiry into design culture and the social, cultural, and material contexts in which design is practiced today. Set in the fourth largest city in the U.S., Houston and its unique urban form and history offer an exceptional laboratory for exploring the problems and potentials of design in relation to the human-impacted environment.

The University of Houston, with a highly diverse student body and situated in one of the most diverse cities in the nation, actively seeks to recruit and retain a correspondingly diverse community of scholars. The University of Houston is a Hispanic-Serving Institution.

Candidates should hold, at a minimum, a postgraduate degree or equivalent with an emphasis on critical engagement with the history and theory of design. While a Ph.D. or other advanced scholarly degree is preferred, ABD candidates and candidates with strong track records in research and scholarship are encouraged to apply.

Applications should include a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, statement of proposed research agenda (one page maximum), one course proposal for a seminar or studio emerging from the candidate's research agenda (300 words maximum), a focused selection of scholarship, writing, and/or published work (10 MB max upload), and contact information for three references including telephone and mailing/email addresses. Shortlisted candidates may be asked to submit additional work at a later date.
