DEAN OF THE SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE
Charlottesville, VA
Charlottesville, VA
The University of Virginia seeks an exceptional leader who will work with us to collectively explore how design education and research should be structured to best serve an increasingly interconnected and globalized society.
Together we face complex societal challenges, including climate change, poverty reduction, equitable access to education and healthcare, and the creation of resilient and livable buildings, neighborhoods and cities. We seek an individual who understands and embraces the pivotal roles that designers, planners, and historians must play in addressing a host of difficult problems that have significant ramifications from local to global contexts.
Our next dean is invited to lead a willing and able group to conceive new ideas to engage spatial design as an agent of social, technological, and environmental priorities facing the world. We seek a dean who will inspire us and challenge us to discover new creative approaches to learning, teaching, practicing, and undertaking advanced research that serve our mission as a public university.
We seek a leader who is able to build upon the distinctive qualities of UVA’s School of Architecture: sustained investigation across the disciplines of Architectural History, Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Urban and Environmental Planning; emergent collaborations across the University; deep and sustained engagement with sites around the world; a demonstrated commitment to exceptional undergraduate and graduate teaching; a growing culture of funded research, scholarship, and design competitions; recent fundraising efforts that have exceeded goals; and remarkably passionate and engaged students.
