Track Faculty Position in
Landscape Architecture & Environmental Planning - Design
The Department of Landscape Architecture
and Environmental Planning (LAEP) at the University of California,
Berkeley seeks to fill a tenure-track faculty position in
Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning at the
assistant professor level. Candidates should hold a professional
design degree and either an advanced degree in Landscape
Architecture or Environmental Planning, or a distinguished
record in practice/creative work. The person will be responsible
for teaching studios in design and planning. The appointee
will be expected to offer coursework in the area of their
expertise. The appointment will begin on July 1, 2007.
LAEP is seeking to recruit an innovative
and integrative person to bridge planning and design. The
successful candidate must therefore demonstrate an ability
to span the spatial scales and theoretical interests of
the Department as well as an interest in the application
of theoretical concepts through culturally and ecologically
sensitive planning and design.
At Berkeley LAEP is situated in the
College of Environmental Design with the Department of Architecture
and the Department of City and Regional Planning. Four of
its twelve regular faculty hold joint appointments in at
least one of the other College departments, two of its faculty
hold joint appointments with the Department of Geography,
and one with the Division of Environmental Science, Policy,
and Management. The current faculty includes designers,
planners, and scientists. We are mutually committed to the
integration of our respective areas of expertise through
landscape planning and design, and we seek a colleague who
will strengthen our collaborative potential. We are committed
to field-based practice, research, and teaching. Citizen
participation, competent science, complex visualization,
and effective implementation are also hallmarks of planning
and design as practiced and taught at Berkeley. Our new
colleague should share these commitments, but also challenge
us in our assumptions and presumptions. Intellectual curiosity
and a willingness to push the limits of our preconceptions
are essential.
Submit application, including a letter
of interest, biographical statement, and names and addresses
of three references to:
Linda Jewell, Chair
