The Department of Historic Preservation at the Stuart Weitzman School of Design, University of Pennsylvania, welcomes applications for an Assistant or Associate Professor to conduct graduate-level instruction, advising, and research in historic preservation. We especially seek scholars who have both 1) research and teaching experience related to the public history of the built environment, ideally with a specific emphasis on social and/or environmental justice, and 2) heritage-based professional practice. There are also opportunities to teach across multiple departmental concentrations, including preservation planning and/or preservation design.
The Department of Historic Preservation provides an integrated approach for architects, landscape architects, planners, historians, archaeologists, conservators, managers, and other professionals to understand, sustain, and transform the existing environment. Through two master’s degree programs, we offer concentrations in public history of the built environment, preservation planning, preservation design, and architectural conservation. The successful candidate will be expected to teach courses at the graduate level, including the foundational community-engaged public history seminar, plus additional courses among the following: global history of the built environment, preservation policy, preservation studio, and/or other courses that suit the candidate’s research. Review of applications begins on February 15, 2025. Complete position description and application information: apply.interfolio.com/161050
