The Catholic University of America School of Architecture and Planning in Washington, D.C., seeks an Assistant or Associate Professor of Sustainable Design: Energy Simulation and Modeling (Full-Time, Tenure-Track).
The Catholic University of America has the oldest and largest School of Architecture and Planning in the Washington metropolitan region. The school is recognized for high quality design balancing theory and practice, as well as for its long-standing ties to the professional community.

The school offers the pre-professional Bachelor of Science in Architecture. Its graduate programs include the accredited Master of Architecture and a post-professional Master of Architectural Studies; two additional graduate programs, the Master of Science in Sustainable Design and the Master of City and Regional Planning, add to the traditional offerings of the school.
The Catholic University of America is the national university of the Catholic Church and was founded as a center of research and scholarship. We seek candidates who, regardless of their religious affiliation, understand and will make a significant contribution to the university?s mission and goals.
QUALIFICATIONS: 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.
