Rhode Island School of Design

The Department of Architecture, in the Division of Architecture and Design, at Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), invites applications for three full-time term appointment faculty members at the rank of Assistant Professor-in-Residence, to commence fall 2024. One position is for a 2-year term appointment (AY 24/25-25/26). The other two positions are for 1-year term appointments (AY 24/25).

RISD recognizes principles of social equity, inclusion, and diversity as fundamental to its academic mission as an art and design school. We understand these principles to require ongoing attention to differential embodied experience and expansion of the forms of knowledge from which our curricula originate. RISD is engaged in the collective work of institutional transformation and would value applicants whose pedagogical and professional experiences have prepared them to foster equitable teaching and learning environments. We seek applicants whose teaching and professional work (creative practice and/or academic scholarship) attends to embodied difference as intersectional and centers on bodies of knowledge from historically underrepresented communities. We particularly encourage applicants who can help advance the institution’s social equity, inclusion, and diversity goals and those from groups whose underrepresentation in the American professoriate has been severe and long standing, including Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and other People of Color, people who identify as LGBTQIA+, veterans, people with disabilities, and first-generation college students.

The department seeks qualified individuals to offer graduate and undergraduate-level instruction in architectural design. These are design positions and successful candidates will teach design studios at core and advanced levels.

The department is particularly interested in applicants with knowledge and applied experience in drawing, representation, and urban design, as well as applicants with an active professional practice.

RISD can sponsor a J1 visa or a TN visa for this term Assistant Professor-in-Residence position, but effective April 2017, RISD DOES NOT support H1 and O1 employment visas for term appointment positions.
