This posting establishes a pool of candidates to fill temporary, non-tenure-track lecturer positions in Architecture. This posting does not necessarily reflect a current, open position. Appointments will be part-time (less than 50%) and will be made semester-by-semester, as teaching needs arise. This temporary Lecturer pool is anticipated to remain continuously active through August 2026, at which point, all applications will be cleared from the pool. Applicants will be welcome to apply to future pools after that date.

This includes knowledge of different design paradigms, design skills, and approaches to project design.
