Job Details
AUT is vibrant, achievement-oriented and a rewarding place to work and is ranked in the top 1.2% of all universities worldwide . As one of the world's top 30 millennial universities and New Zealand's second-largest, it offers a stimulating teaching and research environment with strong connections to Government, business and industry.
AUT have recognised an exceptional opportunity to educate and research within future environments. At a hugely exciting time for the university and our unique Faculty of Design and Creative Technologies (DCT ) - we are founding a new School of Future Environments in January 2020. Grounded in the way in which we live, interact and build our future cities and environments - this school will be at the heart of our faculty. It is all about life between the disciplines, designing and building our future environments whilst fostering innovation and rewarding creativity, courage and disruption.
The Role
We have a fantastic permanent, full-time opportunity for a Lecturer in Architecture to utilise their doctorate and develop their career in teaching, research and service, whilst also joining AUT's bold, innovative and supportive Māori and Pacific Early Career Academic Programme .
We are seeking Māori or Pacific scholars with expertise broadly within Architecture, or a related discipline (Urban Design, Landscape Architecture, Engineering, Spatial Science or Smart Cities). The majority of teaching will be in wānanga/studio - a project-based, student-centred learning environment that integrates diverse strands of knowledge (creative, technical, socio-cultural, etc) within a holistic design framework. Some content will be co-delivered, through collaborative multi-disciplinary noho marae, shared lectures and workshops. You will publish actively in your specialised field - research is well supported within the Faculty. Over time you'll also seek external research funding, engage with government, business, the professions and/or the community, and contribute to School/Faculty activities.
The role will contribute to two new degrees commencing in 2020; the Bachelor of Architecture & Future Environments (BAFE), and the Master of Architecture (Professional) . This is a unique opportunity to make key contributions to innovation in architectural education, framed in a wider trans-disciplinary and socio-cultural context. These programmes will attract significant national and international attention. The School of Future Environments and these new degrees are all strongly committed to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and supporting mātauranga Māori at all levels of their research agenda, teaching content, learning strategies, delivery methods, administration and assessment structures.
A collaborative, open and engaging attitude that is flexible to School requirements is essential! You'll join an open and highly collaborative group that supports the growth of its people. There is genuinely positive energy within the School and we offer an excellent research environment, with generous research support. The Faculty also offers a variety of contestable research funds.
