Drury University, Hammons School of Architecture

Drury University’s Hammons School of Architecture (HSA) invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track position to start August 2026.

HSA seeks talented candidates whose teaching and scholarly work focus on the integration of contemporary design technology toward innovative advancements in architectural pedagogy, discourse, and practice. Candidates must demonstrate experience or promise of excellence in teaching upper-level integrated design studios with an emphasis on systems integration and an aspirational design of buildings. They should also be capable of teaching within and leading a building systems concentration area that engages building performance, environmental modeling, and ecological design.

The successful candidate will join a faculty of colleagues dedicated to the craft of teaching and the preparation of design leaders. They will play a key role in furthering the school’s mission of design excellence through relevant scholarship and innovative educational contributions to the university and architecture.

A professional degree in architecture and a graduate degree in architecture or an allied field are required. Candidates with teaching and/or professional experience and a path towards licensure are desirable. Teaching, scholarship, and service are integral to this position. Candidates should have an articulated line of inquiry with the potential to advance disciplinary knowledge and develop a credible dossier of peer-reviewed scholarship through recognized design, publication, research, exhibitions, funding and/or other means.

HSA’s NAAB-accredited M.Arch degree has a historical and ongoing commitment to providing exemplary professional preparation within a broad, interdisciplinary curriculum recognized for fostering critical thinking and skilled stewardship. All HSA students study abroad, participate in professional internships, and attain minors and/or certificates to construct an individualized path through a uniquely interconnected program within a small private liberal arts university.
