Renewal for one year 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.

City Visionaries: Precollege Explorations in Architecture, Art, and Urban Design is a Cornell AAP summer program based at the Gensler Family AAP NYC Center on the Cornell Tech campus. The rigorous, five-week program 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. Offered by a world-class Ivy League institution, the program introduces students to core principles of 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 first-year college curriculum, strong cross-disciplinary subject knowledge across architecture and the built environment, the ability to manage and train a team of instructors, and a predilection for developing rigorous college preparatory curriculum for a range of upper-level high school students.

Additional responsibilities will include participating in planning meetings as required by the Senior Associate Dean; 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 a discipline related to one of AAP's five departments (Architecture, Art, City and Regional Planning, Real Estate, and Design Tech), experience with academic administration, and a stellar teaching record. The term length is June 1 through August 31 with occasional planning meetings during the academic year.
