EPFL’s School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering (ENAC) invites applications for a faculty position in Architectural Design and Heritage. The position is open at the level of Assistant (tenure-track) or Associate Professor (tenured).
The Institute of Architecture and the City seeks a Professor of Architectural Design and Heritage to address the systemic challenges posed by the continuing climate crisis, rapid urbanization, and threats to eco-systems. Architecture must acquire an insightful understanding of its mission as transformed and transforming discipline with the ability and responsibility to bring up coherent, progressive and inclusive visions and solutions for our present, operating as socio-ecological catalyst within the ecological transition that is vital for life on earth.
We seek an architect of international status with a recognized intellectual footprint in heritage conservation, in light of sustainability concerns related to interventions on existing buildings, urban densification, adaptation of heritage buildings to contemporary standards in respect of historical typologies, coherent architectural expression and original construction technologies.
The successful candidate will have an outstanding record of professional experience in architectural design and heritage across scales, a proven capacity and interest for transdisciplinary approaches, and a strong commitment to excellence in teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
We encourage applications from individuals with skills in critical analysis and professional evaluation of existing heritage as well as deep knowledge of historical construction methods, from the beginning of industrialization to modern times. Specifically, in addition to practical experience in architectural design and theoretical training in history of architecture, the applicant should have recognized contributions to conservative restoration, recovery and/or functional reconversion.
