Job Overview
The College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning (DAAP) at the University of Cincinnati invites applications for Architecture Adjunct Faculty positions at the top-ranked School of Architecture and Interior Design (SAID).
The School of Architecture and Interior Design (SAID) confers an accredited ?rst professional graduate degree in Architecture (M Arch), an accredited professional degree in Interior Design (BSID), an undergraduate degree in Architecture (BS Arch), post-professional degrees in each discipline (MS Arch and M.IntD) and the Ph.D. degree in Architecture. The core mission of the profession programs at SAID is to prepare students for critical engagement with practice. The foundation of all of the studio programs at SAID remains a liberal arts education, which provides a broad basis for understanding the role of architecture within a cultural and historical context; the professional curricula are enriched with elective seminars, lectures and design studios that provide opportunities to engage in travel/study programs, experimental projects, and service-learning.
