Professor and Chair of Landscape Architecture, Department of Landscape Architecture
The Weitzman School of Design at the University of Pennsylvania invites applications for a senior faculty position to guide the Department of Landscape Architecture as Chair, beginning July 2023.
The preferred candidate will be tenurable at the rank of professor. This individual will be capable of providing exceptional leadership in advancing the field of landscape architecture while contributing to the visibility of the department. In addition to heading the department, the Chair will help to shape the strategic vision of the Weitzman School of Design in collaboration with the Dean, other department and program directors, and faculty.
Individuals with an established reputation of intellectual and design influence in the field of landscape architecture or related disciplines—as evidenced by a distinguished record of teaching, professional accomplishment, scholarship, and/or research—are encouraged to apply.
The successful candidate will bring vision, leadership, and presence to build upon the Department's long-standing reputation, and will be an effective advocate for Landscape Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania in an increasingly complex domestic and international environment.
The Department of Landscape Architecture is one of the Weitzman School of Design's six distinguished degree-granting academic programs. It has a rich tradition of intellectual foresight in defining and re-positioning the field of landscape architecture, and a reputation for excellence in physical design, interdisciplinary thinking, history and theory, and leading-edge research through practice.
The position of Chair will include responsibility for leadership in the Department of Landscape Architecture, as well as an ex officio position as Executive Director of the McHarg Center for Ecology and Urbanism, a research platform for standing faculty in the department. The Chair's role in the McHarg Center will include liaising with the Center's Director, its Board, and fundraising in support of the Center's established agenda to support the work of standing faculty.
The Weitzman School of Design is committed to building a culturally diverse and pluralistic faculty committed to teaching and working in a multicultural environment. Candidates are encouraged to describe how diverse, underrepresented, and global perspectives are incorporated into their teaching and practice.

Vision
As engines of knowledge and new ideas, universities have the unique potential to define the future rather than be defined by it; to pioneer change rather than merely manage it. To do so requires a plan both visionary and pragmatic. The Penn Compact 2022 motivates community members to innovate, be radically inclusive, and positively impact their local, national, and global communities.
Penn’s fundamental priorities — increasing access, integrating knowledge and engaging locally, nationally and globally — are supported by the three core values that make us uniquely Penn: inclusion, innovation, and impact.

Diversity
Understanding and appreciating diversity is one of Penn's most important priorities and is fundamental to success in today's world.
Penn adheres to a policy that prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, creed, national or ethnic origin, citizenship status, age, disability, veteran status, or any other legally protected class.
