Educational Leadership
Tenure track appointments in the Education Leadership Stream cultivate and reward outstanding teaching and leadership through contributions to curricula and pedagogical innovation. In this position, SALA seeks a faculty colleague knowledgeable in the above cited subject areas and committed to innovative approaches to teaching with strong connections to architectural design, practice, and building.
Of particular interest, SALA is committed to continuing and expanding its capacity to offer multiple types and scales of hands-on and applied design-build experiences appropriate to all students. The MArch program has offered advanced Design Build opportunities for many years that have included projects at many different scales with and within diverse British Columbia communities. We aspire to expand that focus to projects that engage a greater diversity of students and address school wide challenges such as climate change, embodied carbon, renewable energy, and responsible use of resources.
The successful candidate will pursue a productive teaching portfolio as well as contribute leadership to the development and coordination of curricula, pedagogies, and infrastructure that advance these ambitions. This includes cultivating relationships with community partners and sponsors.
Preference will be given to candidates with distinguished accomplishments in the profession, professional experience in architectural design, and built work. Candidates should demonstrate the ability to integrate their creative work and professional interests into their teaching and develop an innovative and integrated teaching and service portfolio. SALA is seeking an individual that advances these interests alongside the ability to inform design and architectural technology issues and challenges of relevance to the School and our region.
The Assistant Professor of Teaching also contributes to service within the School, the University and to the academic and professional community. Joining the faculty at SALA offers the opportunity to engage with a robust network of scholars and practicing professionals, and to connect with other UBC departments and programs.
Equity and diversity
SALA seeks to cultivate a diversity of people, ideas experiences and approaches to design in our School. Applications from members of historically underrepresented groups, and candidates with experience teaching and working with diverse communities and students are particularly encouraged. Successful candidates will have built productive relationships across cultural differences and demonstrated capacity for equitable, diverse and inclusive approaches to teaching and research for all students, staff and faculty.
With this position, SALA also seeks to address a significant gap between the race, ancestry, colour, and place of origin represented among our tenure track faculty, and that of our region. Recruitment for this position has been approved as a Special Program by the British Columbia Office of the Human Rights Commissioner, for individuals who self-identify as possessing protected personal characteristics in the category of “race, colour, ancestry, and place of origin.” We actively encourage applications from members of groups with historical and/or current barriers to equity, including, but not limited to:
- First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples, and all other indigenous peoples.
- members of groups that commonly experience discrimination due to race, ancestry, colour, religion and/or spiritual beliefs, or place of origin.
