<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Gill Sans MT","serif"">The School of Architecture and Planning at The Catholic University of America in Washington, DC announces the following two faculty positions in its vibrant
<b><i>Master of Science in Sustainable Design</i></b> program. Abbreviated position descriptions are given below and the full advertisements can be seen at the ACSA web sites given below.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Gill Sans MT","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Gill Sans MT","serif"">If anyone has any questions about these positions I would be glad to respond.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Gill Sans MT","serif";color:#1F497D"><a href="http://www.acsa-arch.org/careers/current-opportunities/job-details/2011/09/26/assistant-associate-professor-sustainable-design-energy-simulation-and-modeling">http://www.acsa-arch.org/careers/current-opportunities/job-details/2011/09/26/assistant-associate-professor-sustainable-design-energy-simulation-and-modeling</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Gill Sans MT","serif";color:#1F497D">The successful candidate will have significant expertise in the integration of sustainable environmental control technologies and building design at an advanced level through
the use of simulation software as well as traditional methods. Faculty filling this position will be required to teach a two course sequence in energy modeling and simulation as well as electives on such topics as building performance measurement and verification,
and renewable energy. The ideal candidate will balance theory and practice, exhibiting skills in both lecturing and studio critique; clear communication with both graduate and undergraduate level students is an essential requirement. A related research agenda,
publications, and grants are important considerations. The successful candidate will demonstrate experience or potential in teaching and will possess a terminal or professional degree in architecture or engineering and fluency in software applications related
to the area of expertise (such as Energy Plus, eQuest, DesignBuilder). Added consideration will be given for additional credentials beyond the professional degree (e.g., Ph.D.). Primary duties will include teaching at the graduate level within the Master of
Science in Sustainable Design program. The position may involve participation in design studios, lectures, advanced seminars, the supervision of thesis students, and student advising. Research/creative activities and school/university/community service are
also required, as per faculty handbook expectations. Research may be creative, professional, or theoretical. External grants, commissions, competitions, committee duties, and service to the community, University, and the school are important.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
