The Auburn Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) is an accredited two year, six semester program. It is a research-informed, design-lead program dedicated to opening up new spaces of critical landscape discourse and practice. The program educates students in the generation of resilient cultural and social practices through the cultivation of adaptive urban and environmental design strategies.
Responsibilities of the appointment include teaching, research and/or outreach at a graduate level. The successful candidate will be required to maintain an active scholarly program disseminated through appropriate disciplinary, peer-reviewed venues; and funding is available to support these activities.

Preferred qualifications include: evidence of outstanding design skills, experience in professional practice and teaching, professional registration, and advanced degrees in Landscape Architecture, or related design or planning fields. The successful candidate will be a creative designer whose work is grounded in the problems of contemporary practice, and investigates current issues through techniques that can be translated to the graduate studio setting.
