Key Requirements

  • Successful candidates will support our educational mission and teach design studios, lectures, and seminar courses related to their area of expertise.

  • Professors of Practice at Tulane School of Architecture and Built Environment are expected to teach, work with faculty colleagues, the dean, and other departments at Tulane to develop curriculum, and engage in service through a range of academic committees. Candidates for Professor of Practice positions are expected to pursue a clear agenda of practice-based research and creative production. Candidates for this position should be ready to teach undergraduate and graduate-level design studios (particularly within the core curriculum) and coursework within their area of expertise.
