Job Description

Responsibilities

The ideal candidate must demonstrate a track record of scholarly achievements, creative activities, and/or professional practice with a proven agenda that investigates design approaches with critical and entrepreneurial perspectives. The position requires an explorative research attitude toward technology that drives innovation, informs creative pedagogical models, and the pursuit of scientific publications at the New York Institute of Technology’s School of Architecture and Design.

We are seeking a highly qualified and motivated candidate willing to join dynamic research groups and labs (Artificial Intelligence Lab, Robotic Fabrication Lab, ReMEDIA Lab - Regenerative Material Environments for Medical and Design Interactive Applications, Large Scale 3D Printing Lab, HIVE Lab - Home for Innovation, Visualization, and Exploration), with the competencies to contribute in developing technologies for circular processes in the construction sector towards a regenerative built environment.

The applicant’s expertise should integrate computational technologies and renewable materials and concentrate on the following building system areas: computation, ecology, and human health impact via design research into regenerative materials and circular products harnessing emerging digital fabrication and construction technologies. It will be desirable to have candidates with strong skills and interests in more than one of these areas: computational design for construction optimization; programming, AI, data management for additive fabrication up to building scale; three-dimensional printing technology for biomass 3DP, LDM, FDM, C3DP; process design, IoT, controls and robotic automation for circular building products.

This position requires teaching in graduate and undergraduate programs. At the graduate level, it will strengthen and support our Master of Science in Architecture program in Computational Technologies (M.S.ACT), and collaborative, transdisciplinary contributions will be expected in the form of teaching and research to our Master of Science in Health and Design (M.S. HD).

The selected candidate is expected to be evolving a research agenda thereby defining clear milestones and goals supported by internal and external funding and validated via peer-evaluated professional or research projects, publications, conferences, exhibitions and/or installations. The candidate will be joining in an active role in the further development of trans-disciplinary research projects leading to the expansion of collaborations and partnerships with other universities, with the profession and the industry, nationally and internationally, thereby contributing to New York Tech’s excellence and the enhancement of our university’s reputation.

The candidate should be able to manage and prioritize multiple tasks effectively, be a good team collaborator and communicator, and have excellent organizational skills. An essential role will play the contribution to curricular development, studio sequences coordination, participation in program accreditation, student mentoring and advising, retention and recruitment initiatives, and activities serving the community, the School of Architecture and Design, and the Institution.

Our community is committed to supporting and advocating diversity and inclusivity.
