We seek a candidate who will demonstrate a research and scholarship agenda associated with the role of Architecture Computation Making. The typical teaching workload in the CUSoA is one design studio plus one seminar in each of the Fall and Spring semesters. The CuSoA fosters a rich culture of making, evidenced through teaching, research, and scholarship. Utilizing contemporary computational tools and workflows, this position presents the opportunity to galvanize our various Laboratories and Institutes. CUSoA is home to and partners with a diverse range of research institutes supported through our Digital Design Shop (DDS), Materials Lab, and Built Environmental Lab (BEL). This position will present opportunities to engage with our Institute for Intelligent Materials, Systems, and Environments (IMSE), our Wood Utilization Design Institute (WUD), our Community Research and Design Center (CRDC), and our Center for Health Facilities Design and Testing.
About the CUSoA
The School of Architecture, part of the College of Architecture, Art and Construction (CAAC) that encompasses 8 other departments, celebrated its centennial in 2013. School facilities include the award-winning Clemson campus building designed by Clemson alumnus Thomas Phifer and satellite centers in Charleston, SC; Genoa, Italy; and Barcelona, Spain. The school has approximately 500 students enrolled in the BA in Architecture, the Master of Architecture (M. Arch., and the MS in Architecture degrees). The School boasts an interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in Planning, Design and the Built Environment. Clemson’s M.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at the CUSoA
In the last ten years the School of Architecture has increased the diversity in demographics both in faculty and students, but continues efforts to create a more equitable and inclusive environment. The architecture of South Carolina is consequently affected by the lack of diverse and inclusive voices in the profession. For the employment in local practices and firms, we are the main educators of future generations of registered architects in the state of South Carolina. It is imperative that this tenure-track candidate brings a diverse, inclusive, and equitable pedagogy and a progressive approach to teaching, as well as an understanding of how equal representation in professional practice has a direct impact on the communities least represented in this field. This candidate is expected to have a clear understanding of history and to embrace the emerging culture of inclusivity.
Qualifications:
Minimum Qualifications:
- Accredited professional terminal degree in architecture or the international equivalent Master’s degree in architecture (or an allied discipline.)
- An emerging trajectory for or established record of excellence in teaching, scholarship, and/or creative work related to design and contemporary practice.

Preferred Qualifications:
- Evidence of excellence in teaching.

- A strong record of creative professional practice experience.
- A strong record of service both in academia and to the profession.

Organization
Working at Clemson University
Clemson is a dynamic research university located in Upstate South Carolina at the center of the booming I-85 corridor between Charlotte, N.C., and Atlanta, Ga. One of the nation’s most selective public research universities according to U.S. News & World Report and The Princeton Review, Clemson University is the school of choice among top students in South Carolina and is increasingly competitive for the best students in the region and the nation. More than 17,100 students select from 70 undergraduate and 100 graduate degree programs through five academic colleges: Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences; Architecture, Arts and Humanities; Business and Behavioral Science; Engineering and Science; and Health, Education and Human Development.
Clemson’s transformation into a leading research institution — currently attracting in excess of $140 million in externally funded research and sponsored program awards per year — is based upon an academic plan that identifies eight emphasis areas in which the University has opportunities to increase education and research, to align with South Carolina’s economic development needs and to draw upon faculty strengths. Emphasis areas include automotive and transportation technology, advanced materials, biotechnology and biomedical sciences, leadership and entrepreneurship, sustainable environment, information and communication technology, family and community living, and general education.
Major economic development initiatives that have emerged from the academic plan include the Clemson International Center for Automotive Research — a 250-acre campus in Greenville, which has generated more than $225 million in public and private commitments in just four years; an advanced materials initiative at the Clemson Research Park, which includes a new LEED Silver-certified facility; and the South Carolina Health Sciences Collaborative — an initiative of the state’s three research universities and major health-care systems.
As the state’s land-grant university, Clemson reaches out to citizens, communities and businesses all over South Carolina. The Public Service Activities division includes the county-based Cooperative Extension Service, five off-campus research and education centers through the Clemson University Experiment Station and critical regulatory responsibilities for plant and animal health.
The University boasts a 1,400-acre campus on the shores of Lake Hartwell within view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Surrounding the campus are 18,000 acres of University farms and woodlands devoted to research. A warm campus environment, great weather and recreational activities offered by proximity to both the natural surroundings and large cities are part of the Clemson Experience.
