The successful candidate is expected to contribute to contemporary design discourse on “Landscape and Eco-Technology” through disciplinary engagement, teaching, research and/or practice. This position will allow the department to carry forward its legacy of leadership in service of the State of California, the nation, and the wider world.

Landscape architecture has a long and distinguished history at Berkeley, starting in 1913 and boasting a
renowned cast of alumni and faculty. Today, we offer degree programs at the undergraduate, Masters, and PhD levels. As one of the founding departments in the College of Environmental Design, established in 1959, interdisciplinarity is part of our ethos and public engagement of our mission. Building on the legacy of environmental design, we tackle contemporary challenges from climate adaptation to societal crises
