Job Description
The Department of Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning at Texas A&M University, College Station, TX, invites applications for a tenure track Assistant Professor position beginning Fall 2011. We are seeking candidates to teach core and elective courses in the professional degree programs in landscape architecture and participate in the supervision of master's theses and doctoral dissertations.
Candidates must have at least one professional degree in landscape architecture and a master's degree. A Ph.D. degree is highly desirable. The successful candidate should have a strong potential for significant research or creative scholarly activity. Salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience. A generous startup package will be offered to the successful candidate. Female and minority candidates are especially encouraged to apply for this position.
Faculty members in the landscape architecture programs form a diverse team of professional educators focused on evidence-based design. Evidence-based design is a collective design decision-making process that is based upon the best knowledge (evidence) available from multiple sources including scientific research, precedent studies and site-specific information. We approach the Bachelor of Landscape Architecture and Master of Landscape Architecture curricula with a consistent philosophy, methodology, and practice intent upon improving the decision-making in landscape architectural design, planning, implementation, and management.
The Department of Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning (LAUP) has 40 full-time faculty members, and offers the following six degrees: Bachelor of Urban and Regional Science, Bachelor of Landscape Architecture, Master of Landscape Architecture, Master of Urban Planning, Master of Science in Land Development, and Ph.D. in Urban and Regional Science. The department has strong interdisciplinary ties to the world-renowned Hazard Reduction and Recovery Center, the Texas Transportation Institute, the Center for Heritage Conservation, the Center for Housing and Urban Development, and other centers and certificate programs in related fields within the College of Architecture. The research initiatives by our faculty generate $4-6 million per year in external research funds. For more information, please see http://archone.tamu.edu/laup/

Over 130 faculty members in the departments of Architecture, LAUP, Construction Science, and Visualization serve over 1800 students in 14 degree programs. Our programs cover the entire spectrum of disciplines having to do with the built and virtual environment. College Station is located in the heart of the Texas Urban Triangle, a mega-region bounded by Austin, San Antonio, Houston, and the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
