Lecturer/Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor/Professor in Architecture, Auckland CBDContribute to a paradigm shift in education, research and practiceCreate exceptional student-centred learning experiences in wananga/studio environmentsBuild productive partnerships with professions, industry, iwi and community partnersHuri Te Ao The School of Future Environments at AUT, established in 2020, is AUT's newest school. The School is strongly committed to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and Matauranga Maori. We aspire to shape our future environments by responding to Te Ao Maori, Moana-nui-a-Kiwa identity and the multi-cultural diversity of Aotearoa New Zealand.
Our mission is to develop transformative, ecologically-oriented programmes in Architecture, Civil, Construction and Architectural Engineering, Construction Management, Creative Technologies, and Ecological Urbanism, as well as to make transdisciplinary connections across those fields.
As Aotearoa New Zealand's only university of technology, we are optimistic about the positive contribution that these programmes, and our graduates, can make to the global climate emergency, social justice and the complex challenges of the 21st century. The School is based in Te Ara Auaha the Faculty of Design and Creative Technologies, a diverse community of creative, technical, scientific and entrepreneurial thinkers, makers, researchers, and doers, working in an environment designed to foster imagination and innovation.
We invite applications from academics and practitioners in Architecture and related disciplines who have the ambition, courage, cultural awareness, and expertise to bring about a paradigm shift in the way we conceive, design, and construct the environments in which we collectively live, work and play. For positions at Senior Lecturer and above, we would expect candidates to demonstrate the experience and ability to lead and manage academic teams in a dynamic institutional environment.
We are particularly keen to hear from people who can create exceptional collaborative student-centred learning experiences in wananga, design studio or project-centred environments. We encourage applications from candidates who can contribute expertise in indigenous and non-Western knowledge frameworks.
Successful candidates will have expertise in one or more of the following areas:
Design studio pedagogies and practicesA track record of innovative, regenerative and/or live project-based studio teaching, design aesthetics, and established experience in architectural practice, working at a range of scales and across complex programmes, from project inception to construction documentation and resolution of design in built form.
Integrating Architectural Design with Advanced TechnologiesThe ability to articulate theoretical and practical connections between regenerative design, structures, advanced construction, digital transformation, and data-informed approaches to future living environments and infrastructures at multiple scales.
Demonstrable ability to teach and research across historical, cultural, technological, entrepreneurial, and ethical contexts of contemporary practice, including indigenous or non-indigenous, systems thinking, regenerative and more-than-human theoretical frameworks.
Ecological Sub/UrbanismExpertise in critical, ecological, smart & sustainable approaches to sub/urban form, including alternative patterns of development, and relationships to emerging socio-technological infrastructures, AI/Data, Internet of Things, digital lifestyles, and regenerative infrastructures.
Demonstrable ability to develop students' skills in architectural communication across a range of approaches and programmes, including advanced analogue and digital communication techniques, extended realities, and synthetic environments.
Design Management and Advanced Professional PracticeDemonstrable expertise in the management of complex design processes and/or redesigning the "Architecture of the Profession" to address new business models for expanded architectural, ecological, and cultural practices, and alternative forms of education and practice.
This role will also offer opportunities to contribute to a new post-graduate programme in Design Management planned to commence in 2025/26.
Applicants should hold a PhD or equivalent in Architecture or a relevant discipline. While there will be an expectation to teach in our undergraduate and post-graduate programmes in Architecture, we are also very keen to hear from people who can advance research and practice across the wider School.
Appointments will be made at a level appropriate to qualifications and experience and can commence at a mutually agreeable date. Applications for permanent part-time or fractional positions will also be considered.
For an informal conversation about the opportunities afforded by Huri Te Ao The School of Future Environments, please feel free to contact the Head of School: Professor Charles Walker +64 21 825 226, ******.
