Description:
The Department of Human Sciences and Design at Baylor University invites applications for a full-time, fully remote Clinical Assistant Professor in Architecture to teach in its inaugural Master of Architecture (M.Arch) program. We seek a candidate who is dedicated to innovative teaching, program development, and meaningful student engagement. As a Christian university, Baylor seeks faculty who have an active Christian or Jewish faith and who will support its mission by fostering academic excellence within a caring, faith-informed community.

This is a remote position. It is a renewable, non-tenure-track, full-time, 12-month, and teaching-focused role.

As part of the Baylor family, eligible employees receive a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental, and vision insurance, generous time off, tuition remission, and outstanding automatic retirement contributions.
