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. Candidates should have a doctorate in architectural history and theory, significant post-degree teaching experience, and a strong research profile (commensurate with the Visiting Assistant or Visiting Associate Professor rank) since they will take over our robust architectural history program for 2026-2027.
The Visiting Assistant/Associate Professor will teach three undergraduate level courses and will advise and mentor undergraduate concentrators in the department. This may include serving as a concentration advisor, 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.
For this position, Brown offers only the J-1 visa classification to scholars who need immigration sponsorship in order to enter the U.S. and commence lawful employment under the terms of their appointment.
