Position Fall 2026



Rank: Guest Faculty

Tenure Information: Non-Tenure Track



Job Description

Sarah Lawrence College Visual Arts Department invites applications
for a one-year guest appointment with possible renewal for
additional two years. The position is for a half-time (2-day) guest
faculty to teach an introductory Sustainable Architecture or
Environmental Design Studio, beginning fall of
2026. This guest faculty would teach one five-hour
studio class each semester and one two credit ‘concept’ or sidebar
class per year. The studio class has a maximum of fifteen students
per semester. In addition to regular coursework, each of those
students will complete a significant independent project or
student ‘conference’ work, a hallmark of Sarah Lawrence’s
educational system. The two-credit concept course has a maximum of
twenty students, but no conference work.



Environmental Design is inherently interdisciplinary. Students are
liberal arts candidates and may have varying experience in design.
The department will look for candidates who support an
interdisciplinary philosophy, can engage students with emerging
issues in the field, seek possible connections with some current
digital technologies such as parametrics, interaction design,
modeling, and plotting. Candidates should encourage strong
representational skills (both analog and digital), lead students to
consider design problems posed by a broad range of built
environments, be open to leading community-based projects, and be
able to merge cultural considerations with sustainable
systems. Application materials must include: cover
letter, CV, online link to portfolio containing ten to twenty
examples of recent work, three contact references who will be
contacted for letters of recommendation upon the submission of the
candidate’s application.

Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States. We are
unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at
this time. This is an in-person teaching appointment, with the
expectation that the appointed individual will teach on campus for
the duration of the contract period.



Compensation for this position is a per-course rate based on
experience. Required Qualifications

Candidates should have at least one year of teaching experience
with undergraduates or its equivalent.
