The Department of the History of Art and Architecture at Brown University is seeking a scholar of global modern architectural history for a one-year, non-renewable position in global modern architectural history. The ideal candidate will have a doctorate in architectural history and theory, significant teaching experience and a strong research profile (commensurate with the Visiting Associate Professor or Visiting Full Professor titles) since they will take over our robust architectural history program for 2026-2027. However, we will also consider scholars at the Visiting Assistant Professor level.
The Visiting Associate Professor will teach three undergraduate level courses and will advise and mentor undergraduate concentrators in the department. This may include serving on honors thesis committees, as a capstone advisor, and as an advisor for independent studies. The candidate will teach a lecture course on global modern architectural history as well as seminar courses in their own area of expertise. Ideally, the candidate will also engage with doctoral students in the department. The candidate is also expected to participate in the life of the department by attending the department’s public lectures, monthly brown bag workshops, honors thesis presentations, commencement and other department events.
