Summary of Duties

The School of Architecture at Marywood University, Scranton, PA, invites applications for two full-time, tenure-track positions at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor of Architecture beginning in the 2013-2014 academic year. The successful candidates will be actively engaged in the continuing development of a recently-established School of Architecture that seeks to formulate and implement innovative pedagogies in architectural education and to create a learning environment that focuses on environmental stewardship and sustainable design. The School opened in the fall of 2009, offers degrees in Architecture and Interior Architecture/Design, and has a current enrollment of nearly 250 students.
