The Office of the Dean in the College of Architecture, Art, and Planning at Cornell University invites applicants for a full-time Lecturer position in a three-month appointment with the possibility for renewal up to three years and an intended start date of May 10, 2027. The person in this position will academically oversee and coordinate AAP’s high school summer program City Visionaries at the Gensler Family AAP Center on the Cornell Tech campus in New York City. Renewal is contingent upon performance reviews, the ongoing need for the position, and the availability of funding. The College of Architecture, Art, and Planning at Cornell University (Cornell AAP) includes the departments of Architecture, Art, City and Regional Planning, the Paul Rubacha Department of Real Estate, jointly led by AAP and the SC Johnson College of Business, the multicollege Department of Design Tech, and the Cornell Mui Ho Center for Cities.

The college spans three locations in Ithaca, New York City, and Rome, Italy, each with world-class facilities and cutting-edge technologies. City Visionaries is a Cornell AAP summer program based at the Gensler Family AAP NYC Center on the Cornell Tech campus. The rigorous, six-week program (June 28 – August 6) is designed for high-achieving and high-potential high school students interested in studying architecture, art, and urban design – all fields that shape the cities where we and millions of others live. The program introduces students to core principles of city design through case study analyses of buildings, art, and urban development in New York City.

In addition to fluency in fundamental design concepts, students gain skills in new and conventional practices in making; spatial and digital literacy; and visual, written, and oral communication for the disciplines. The ideal candidate will have experience teaching high school students or first-year college students, strong cross-disciplinary subject knowledge in urban design (including architecture, urban planning, and real estate development), the ability to manage and train a team of instructors, and a predilection for developing rigorous college preparatory curriculum for high school students. This position is primarily a teaching position (one course) with the need for various administrative tasks, including managing curriculum and course schedule in partnership with the Program Director and the Program Manager; supervising, training, and mentoring all instructors and monitors; organizing guest speakers, visiting critics, site visits, and trips; organizing academic orientation and trainings; and liaising with the Gensler Family AAP Center New York staff. Additional responsibilities will include participating in planning meetings as required by the Program Director, participating in hiring of instructors, and ensuring compliance with institutional policies regarding grading, attendance, interaction with minors, and other academic guidelines.

This position requires a terminal degree in one’s discipline, experience with academic administration, and a stellar teaching record. The term length is May 10 through August 10, with occasional planning meetings and curriculum development anticipated April and full-time commitment from June – August 10. The pay range for this position is $25,000-$28,000. Qualified candidates should submit 1) a cover letter, 2) curriculum vitae, 3) portfolio, and 4) list of three references.
