The Department of Architecture at the University of California, Berkeley invites applicants for the Creedon Design Fellowship, a one-year, non-tenure-track academic research and teaching appointment established through an endowment created by Gerard (Roddy) Creedon. The fellowship provides promising individuals early in their teaching careers with an opportunity to pursue academic and teaching interests. Early career is defined as no more than five years of prior teaching experience and no more than ten years since completion of the relevant graduate degree at the time of application. The successful candidate will be selected based on demonstrated excellence in their design work and, if applicable, in their students' work, as well as the ability to connect their design and research interests to their teaching.

The Fellow will contribute to the College's intellectual life and engage in critical, theoretical, and/or creative work, presented through a public lecture and exhibition. May teach in both graduate and undergraduate programs, coordinated and independent. Teaching load consists of three courses per academic year—two design studios and a seminar related to their research/creative work. Studio assignments determined based on department needs and Fellow's interests.

Basic qualifications: Candidates must hold a Master's degree (or equivalent international degree) at the time of application.

Preferred qualifications: Candidates are expected to demonstrate a record of design excellence commensurate with their experience, and must hold a Master's Degree in Architecture (or a closely related field or equivalent international degree) at time of application.

Application materials: Letter of interest, CV, Portfolio of Design Work, Proposed design and research agenda (5 pages max), Teaching portfolio (optional), and 2-3 references (contact information only).

Term of one year with possibility of extension for a second year depending on departmental needs. The Fellow will be assigned an office space within Bauer Wurster Hall. This position does not include sponsorship of a new consular H-1B visa petition requiring payment of the $100,000 supplemental fee, unless stated otherwise.

Lecturer: $70,977–$79,887; Specialist: $67,900–$76,500 (100% total, 50% Lecturer / 50% Specialist)
