The faculty of Engineering and Architecture from the University of Ghent has a vacancy for a professorship, starting from September 1, 2021.
It concerns a full-time position as Professor in the rank of Assistant Professor (docent, Tenure Track) in the Department of Architecture and Urban Planning, charged with academic teaching, scientific research and carrying out scientific duties in the field of Theory, History and Criticism of Early Modern Architecture.

Academic education
You lecture various course units in the discipline of Theory, History and Criticism of Early Modern Architecture within a comprehensive program in architectural design, supported by the technical and scientific knowledge of the engineer and by the historical and theoretical knowledge of the broad context of architecture and urbanism. Teaching assignments will include courses on both Bachelor and Master level, from a survey course on the history of (European/Western) theory of architecture (which is also targeting Art History students), to thematic research seminars and the supervision of master dissertations. We expect candidates to be able to demonstrate their capacity to participate in meaningful ways in design related courses and design studios.
