Harvard Graduate School of Design

Harvard’s Department of Landscape Architecture is actively seeking highly qualified individuals for the position of full professor, offering graduate-level instruction and conducting advanced research with an emphasis on design.
The preferred candidate should have established a distinguished international reputation for their work in the discipline and/or profession of landscape architecture. They should have experience teaching at the graduate level, and are expected to teach in design studios, lectures, seminars, and/or workshops in the context of an interdisciplinary design school with collaborative faculties in architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, urban design, real estate, design engineering, and design studies. Applicants should be prepared to advise thesis students and doctoral students. All full professors at the GSD are active participants in the collective project of the school itself, which might include program and departmental leadership roles.
We seek candidates who are committed to advancing environmental and social justice in the contemporary city. Candidates should demonstrate expertise in landscape architecture and its intersection with urban design and contemporary public realm design at all scales of human and non-human interactions. Candidates should see their work as expanding disciplinary boundaries and working across scales, embracing the multiple forces that contribute to the conceptualization of urban landscapes and their public dimensions. We are interested in candidates who have developed a research trajectory in public realm landscapes or with a history of consequential professional practice that ties to a design research agenda.
Applicants are required to hold a master-level degree in landscape architecture or equivalent, or in a closely related field. A doctoral degree is considered an enhancement. The school seeks to attract and retain individuals who possess a quality of mind demonstrating high levels of independent thought, clarity of expression, analytical ability, critical judgment, imagination, creativity, initiative, and industry, and a quality that enables individuals to support free inquiry and expression by others and to interact in constructive, collegial, congenial collaboration with faculty, staff, and students.
