Job Description
School of Architecture seeks a part-time instructor(s) to teach building systems courses during the Fall 2024 semester. Because of the course schedule, we are looking to hire either one individual to teach two courses, ARC 222 and ARC 423/623; or two individuals, one to teach ARC 222 and another to teach ARC 322/622. In your letter, please indicate for which scenario you are applying, or if you would like to be considered for all scenarios.

ARC 222: Building Systems I
This lecture course provides as introduction to materials and methods of building systems, technical documentation, building performance, and codes, and builds on the basic concepts established in ARC 121: Introduction to Building and Structural Systems. The key objective of the course is to teach students how to put together a building based on design intent and performative demands, present buildings as an interconnected network of systems, components, and materials, introduce criteria for selecting construction systems and materials, and teach conventions and standards of construction drawings. Teaching is at the undergraduate level. The course meets Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11am-12:20pm.

ARC 322/622: Building Systems II
This lecture course examines the background, design, integration, and performance of the energy and environmental systems deployed to control light, thermal comfort, sound, water, and power in buildings. The course presents health and life safety standards in relation to building design organization, material assembly, form-finding, and space planning. Thermal, ventilation, lighting, and acoustical systems are introduced through technological paradigms and their interrelationships with architectural movements, cultural and theoretical milieus, and structures of project origination and development. Important and emerging codes and standards are framed relative to industry performance metrics, and simulation and analysis software and other tools for evaluation of systems are implemented. Teaching is at the undergraduate and graduate level. The course meets Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11am-12:20pm.

ARC 423/623: Advanced Building Systems
This lecture course highlights conventional and emerging technologies in construction, building enclosures, mechanical systems, parametric design and simulation tools, and regulatory policy and sustainable standards in relation to integrated architectural design. The course advances technical ramifications of specific design choices, the implications of collaborating with various consultants and contractors, and the influence of culture, politics, economy, environment, and other outside factors on the building process. Course lectures demonstrate a range of significant ways in which architects have used building technology – including structural, environmental conditioning, exterior envelope, and interior enclosure systems – to reinforce architectural concepts as well as to achieve the performance goals of these systems. Teaching is at the undergraduate and graduate level. The course meets Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30-10:50am.

About the Syracuse area

The area offers a low cost of living and provides many social, cultural, and recreational options, including parks, museums, festivals, professional regional theater, and premier shopping venues.

Commitment to Supporting and Hiring Veterans
Syracuse University has a long history of engaging veterans and the military-connected community through its educational programs, community outreach, and employment programs. After World War II, Syracuse University welcomed more than 10,000 returning veterans to our campus, and those veterans literally transformed Syracuse University into the national research institution it is today. The University’s contemporary commitment to veterans builds on this historical legacy, and extends to both class-leading initiatives focused on making an SU degree accessible and affordable to the post-9/11 generation of veterans, and also programs designed to position Syracuse University as the employer of choice for military veterans, members of the Guard and Reserve, and military family members.

To do so, we commit ourselves to promoting a community that celebrates and models the principles of diversity and inclusivity.
