The successful applicant must have a terminal degree in Architectureor an equivalent discipline. Professional designation in Canada, or the ability to register with the Ontario Architects Association within three years is considered an asset. While the initial appointment is for a three-year definite term Lecturer, with the possibility of a renewal for another three, the appointed Lecturer may be considered for an on-going appointment thereafter as Continuing Lecturer if they demonstrate outstanding performance in teaching and service.

All applicants must have a proven ability or excellent potential for outstanding teaching in architecture and architectural engineering, have strong communication skills and be committed to professional development and community building. Demonstrated service experience will be considered as a strong asset.

The successful candidate will be expected to develop and teach courses in Architectural Engineering and Architecture programs.  The School of Architecture expects the successful candidate to teach in studios, lecture courses and seminars/electives – integrating design, technology, and culture. Teaching across undergraduate and graduate programs is expected.

The expected teaching load is 5 to 6 courses (or equivalent teaching tasks) per year depending on the level of service, with regular non-teaching terms of four-month duration every two years for scholarly rejuvenation and development activities.

The salary range is $100,000 to $140,000, depending on experience. Negotiations beyond this salary range will be considered for exceptionally qualified candidates.

Applications received by January 19, 2024 will be given full consideration.
