### Description

The School of Architecture is seeking applications and nominations for the following faculty position: Landscape Architecture - Open Rank.

The position will be available starting July 1, 2027.

The School of Architecture at the University of Notre Dame is a Catholic academic community dedicated to the pursuit and sharing of truth for its own sake. One of our distinctive goals is to provide a forum where, through free inquiry and open discussion, the various lines of Catholic thought may intersect with all the forms of knowledge found in the arts, sciences, professions, and every other area of human scholarship and creativity.

Our pedagogy is grounded in cultural continuity, community, and harmony with nature through mindful design. It is a vital point of departure for addressing the urban and environmental changes that all societies currently face.

We consider our pedagogy’s goals, content, and methodological rigor, as well as its commitment to both substance and change, as part of a legitimate campaign to restore architecture to its millennial role: generating the most diverse possible human habitat with reason, beauty, intelligence, justice, and peace of mind.
