BAC Faculty in Landscape Architecture
The BAC’s School of Landscape Architecture offers Bachelor (BLA) and Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) degrees accredited by the Landscape Architectural Accreditation Board (LAAB). The program has a deep focus on urban landscapes and climate response applications and leads explorations of wicked problems through advanced design studios, addressing environmental and social dilemmas across multiple scales. The program promotes diverse voices and cultures in the formulation of design values and raises the awareness of design agency in service of communities worldwide. Landscape architecture students engage in interdisciplinary inquiry and benefit from professional practice requirements and applied research opportunities throughout the program.
We seek full-time faculty members with a strong desire to become part of the BAC community and who wish to contribute to a distinctive discourse (scholarly, creative, professional) that supports their development as design educators. We invite applicants who can teach graduate and undergraduate students, who seek to develop their teaching for student learning; who collaborate on school initiatives; who understand and embrace assessment practices and will participate in LAAB and regional accreditation preparations; and who engage in service to support the school and the institution. We welcome colleagues who enjoy collaborative work as well as individual pursuits, and who are able to understand a problem and move its resolution forward. We seek candidates who wish to work with the director and faculty collaboratively to implement and grow the school’s long-range plan in support of student success. All landscape architecture faculty practice and teach a commitment to addressing climate change through design of the built environment.
