JOB OPPORTUNITY:  DESIGN HISTORY TUTORS

APPLY BY 13 JULY 2022

The London School of Architecture is looking for Design History tutors to join the team.

JOB OVERVIEW

The London School of Architecture is seeking applications for exceptional tutors who can support the Design History module across its two-year MArch in Designing Architecture (ARB/RIBA Part 2) programme.

Design History at the LSA is an analytical module that asks students to consider how architects have approached the task of design through an historical perspective, and how this is instructive for the development of future design proposals. The module is closely aligned to both Design Thesis and Design Tectonics to ensure all aspects of historical research are embraced from construction history through to social, political and cultural agendas.

We welcome applications from:

• architectural historians with a specific knowledge of the history of London
• architectural historians with a range of interests and methodological approaches
• experienced architectural practitioners who would like to share a deep knowledge of the histories of architecture and the built environment
• architectural historians and practitioners who would like to help postgraduate students hone their writing and research methodologies
• those who are eager to engage in the LSA’s innovative pedagogic model of uniting practice and academia by re-thinking how history and historical thinking can enrich contemporary practice

Applicants should:

• subscribe to the mission for the school and be able to make a critical contribution to it: www.the-lsa.org/about/purpose/
• experienced tutors to have at least four years’ teaching experience (i.e. not just as a visiting critic)
• early career practitioners to have at least four years in practice.
• be available to teach in our studio in East London
• preferably be practising in London, in your own practice or as an employee

DELIVERABLES

• please submit a portfolio, CV and covering letter by Wednesday 13 July 2022 to people@the-lsa.org 
• please make clear in your covering letter your level of practice and teaching experience
• interviews will take place week commencing 18 July 2022
• positions commence in September

If you have any questions please email the LSA’s Academic Director, Samantha Hardingham samantha@the-lsa.org
