We share a bold interdisciplinary vision that integrates design excellence, grounded research, commitment to social equity, and rigorous pedagogies to inspire future thought leaders and creative visionaries in environmental design and beyond. The department continues to redefine our field by engaging with contemporary imperatives of climate adaptation, environmental justice, and innovation.LAEP at UC Berkeley is internationally recognized for its focus on design as it intersects with public engagement, environmental justice, innovation, urbanism, and ecology. We are seeking a new tenured faculty member (Associate or Full Professor) to lead contemporary design discourse on the future of public space. The design of public space is facing pressures to increase urban density, address social inequities, and respond to a changing climate; necessitating a shift in professional practice and research.The successful candidate is expected to engage in research and design pedagogy that critically examines contemporary design, praxis, and performance issues of public space, including relevant issues of agency, equity, innovation, policy, research, funding, and political contestation. We seek a colleague who can bring cultural meaning, functional value, compelling aesthetic engagement, and design process, while expanding the department's emphasis on future cities as adaptive cultural and environmental systems. This faculty member should be well positioned to engage in cross-disciplinary discourse, teaching, and research regarding the public realm, with a track record of scholarship, public engagement, and/or built works commensurate with expectations for a tenured professor at UC Berkeley.In addition to excellence in research and teaching, we seek a colleague with the ability to assume leadership roles within the department, college, and university shortly after appointment. This will include the ability and strong desire to serve as Department Chair within an appropriate timeframe. As chair, opportunities exist to leverage department resources for new initiatives in our Undergraduate and Graduate programs as well as throughout the College of Environmental Design. Applicants should have documented experience in academic leadership roles within public and peer institutions as well as a comprehensive and forward-looking vision for design discourse, research, and innovation.We anticipate that a new faculty colleague in LAEP will help develop this vision through planning of curricula; maintaining a department climate that is hospitable to creativity, diversity, and innovation; active recruitment of undergraduate and graduate students; and planning of public programs such as lecture series and exhibitions. We value transparency, shared responsibility, and mutual respect in our faculty colleagues and academic leadership.The department is committed to addressing the family needs of faculty, including dual career couples and single parents.
