POSITION DESCRIPTION

The Department of Architecture at UC Berkeley invites applicants for the Creedon Design Fellowship, a one-year, non-tenure-track academic research and teaching appointment. The fellowship was established through a generous endowment created by Gerard (Roddy) Creedon, who led undergraduate studios for nearly 20 years until 2021, to give promising early-career individuals an opportunity to pursue their 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 time of application. Candidates will be selected based on demonstrated excellence in their design work and, if applicable, their students’ work, as well as their ability to connect design and research interests to teaching.

The Fellow will commence Fall 2027 for a one-year term, with possible extension for a second year depending on the research program and departmental needs. The appointment is Lecturer 50% / Research Specialist 50%. The Fellow will contribute to the College’s intellectual life through critical, theoretical, and/or creative work, presented via a public lecture and exhibition. Teaching duties may span graduate and undergraduate programs, in coordinated or independent formats, totaling three courses per year — two design studios and a seminar related to the Fellow’s research or creative work. Studio assignments will be determined jointly with the Fellow based on departmental needs. The Fellow will be assigned office space in Bauer Wurster Hall, with additional resources provided as available.
