Clarence Ward and Ellen B. Weiss '57 Postdoctoral Fellow in Modern Architectural History
Oberlin, OH
The Department of Art History at Oberlin College invites applications for the Clarence Ward and Ellen B. Weiss '57 Postdoctoral Fellowship in Modern Architectural History, a full-time non-continuing faculty position in the College of Arts and Sciences. Initial appointment to this position will be for a term of two years [4 semesters], beginning fall 2026. Agreement between the department and the incumbent can renew the position for a third year as Visiting Assistant Professor of Modern Architectural History.
About
Founded in 1833, Oberlin is a private four-year, selective liberal arts college near Cleveland, Ohio and is also home to an outstanding Conservatory of Music. Together, the two divisions enroll approximately 2900 students. Oberlin College was the first college in the US to make interracial education and co-education central to its mission. The College continues to view a diverse, equitable and inclusive educational environment as essential to the excellence of its academic program. Among liberal arts colleges, Oberlin is a national leader in successfully placing graduates into PhD programs.
Oberlin is a microcosm of modern architectural history. The campus was shaped by the Olmsted Brothers and by pioneering landscape architect Beatrix Farrand, and Oberlin is home to works by Joseph Lyman Silsbee, Arthur Bates Jennings, Cass Gilbert, Frank Lloyd Wright, Hugh Asher Stubbins, Jr., Wallace Harrison, Minoru Yamasaki, M. Rosaria Piomelli, Robert Venturi, and Maya Lin.
Faculty and classes in Oberlin's Department of Art History utilize the collections of the Allen Memorial Art Museum, one of the best college art museums in the United States, and the Oberlin College Art Library. Oberlin College has unique resources for the teaching of architectural history. The Thomas Jefferson Architectural Books Collection, housed at the Oberlin College Libraries, matches on a one-to-one basis titles owned by Jefferson in either identical or earlier editions. The Oberlin College Visual Resources Collection maintains a large collection of glass lantern slides and photographic study prints of global architecture, while the Oberlin College Archives and Special Collections house and actively collect original books, manuscripts, photographs, and objects for the study and teaching of global architectural history.
The title of this endowed postdoctoral fellowship honors two Oberlinians who made pivotal contributions to the study of architectural history. Clarence Ward was an influential historian of medieval European architecture who taught at Oberlin from 1916 to 1949, serving as the first director of the Allen Memorial Art Museum, chair of the Art Department, founder of the art library that bears his name, and designer of multiple campus buildings. Ellen B. Weiss '57 was a longtime professor of architecture at Tulane University, and authored the first monograph on Robert R. Taylor, the first accredited African American architect in the United States.
Responsibilities
The incumbent will teach a total of two courses annually in the general area of modern and contemporary architectural history. One of these will be an introductory survey course which must include material prior to the twentieth century. The other will be at the intermediate or advanced level, on a topic of the candidate's choice. This teaching load is intended to provide time for the postdoctoral fellow to research and write, as well as take advantage of the Department's and the College's support for pedagogical, scholarly, and professional development. The successful candidate is also encouraged to make use of an endowed fund in architectural history, named for Clarence Ward, which can be used to organize conferences, invite distinguished speakers, or facilitate other initiatives to improve the scope and rigor of the teaching of architectural history at Oberlin. If renewed for a third year as Visiting Assistant Professor, the candidate will teach five courses in the year of appointment: an introductory course repeated in the fall and spring semesters; two intermediate courses; and an advanced seminar.
The Department recognizes that modern architectural history is a capacious, dynamic field which considers high and vernacular practice, urbanism and public space, landscape architecture, the environment, industrial design, and theory and criticism. We are open to scholars working in any period or region after ca. 1750, and especially those whose teaching and scholarship explore diverse and intersecting perspectives, methodologies, and geographies.
Qualifications
Among the qualifications required for appointment is the Ph.D. degree (received after May 1, 2021 or expected by August 1, 2026). Candidates must demonstrate interest and potential excellence in undergraduate teaching. Successful teaching experience at the college level is desirable, as is the ability to teach from original objects and works of architecture. Oberlin College is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion. The incumbent will bring understanding of or experience working with underrepresented and diverse academic populations. Oberlin is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the excellence and diversity of the academic community through their research, teaching, and service. Oberlin recruits, employs, trains, compensates, and promotes regardless of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, veteran's status, and/or other protected status as required by applicable law.

ABOUT THE COMPANY
Republic Services, Inc. (NYSE: RSG) is a leader in the environmental services industry. We provide customers with the most complete set of products and services, including recycling, waste, special waste, hazardous waste and field services. Our industry-leading commitments to advance circularity and support decarbonization are helping deliver on our vision to partner with customers to create a more sustainable world.
In 2023, Republic's total company revenue was $14.9 billion, and adjusted EBITDA was $4.4 billion. We serve 13 million customers and operate more than 1,000 locations, including collection and transfer stations, recycling and polymer centers, treatment facilities, and landfills.
Although we operate across North America, the collection, recycling, treatment, or disposal of materials is a local business, and the dynamics and opportunities differ in each market we serve. By combining local operational management with standardized business practices, we drive greater operating efficiencies across the company while maintaining day-to-day operational decisions at the local level, closest to the customer.
Our customers, including small businesses, major corporations and municipalities, want a partner with the expertise and capabilities to effectively manage their multiple recycling and waste streams. They choose Republic Services because we are committed to exceeding their expectations and helping them achieve their sustainability goals. Our 41,000 team members understand that it's not just what we do that matters, but how we do it.
Our company values guide our daily actions:
Safe: We protect the livelihoods of our colleagues and communities.
Committed to Serve: We go above and beyond to exceed our customers' expectations.
Environmentally Responsible: We take action to improve our environment.
Driven: We deliver results in the right way.
Human-Centered: We respect the dignity and unique potential of every person.
We are proud of our high employee engagement score of 86. We have an inclusive and diverse culture where every voice counts. In addition, our team positively impacted 4.6 million people in 2023 through the Republic Services Charitable Foundation and local community grants. These projects are designed to meet the specific needs of the communities we serve, with a focus on building sustainable neighborhoods.
STRATEGY
Republic Services' strategy is designed to generate profitable growth. Through acquisitions and industry advancements, we safely and sustainably manage our customers' multiple waste streams through a North American footprint of vertically integrated assets.
We focus on three areas of growth to meet the increasing needs of our customers: recycling and waste, environmental solutions and sustainability innovation.
With our integrated approach, strengthening our position in one area advances other areas of our business. For example, as we grow volume in recycling and waste, we collect additional material to bolster our circularity capabilities. And as we expand environmental solutions, we drive additional opportunities to provide these services to our existing recycling and waste customers.
Recycling and Waste
We continue to expand our recycling and waste business footprint throughout North America through organic growth and targeted acquisitions. The 13 million customers we serve and our more than 5 million pick-ups per day provide us with a distinct advantage. We aggregate materials at scale, unlocking new opportunities for advanced recycling. In addition, we are cross-selling new products and services to better meet our customers' specific needs.
Environmental Solutions
Our comprehensive environmental solutions capabilities help customers safely manage their most technical waste streams. We are expanding both our capabilities and our geographic footprint. We see strong growth opportunities for our offerings, including PFAS remediation, an increasing customer need.
SUSTAINABILITY INNOVATION
Republic's recent innovations to advance circularity and decarbonization demonstrate our unique ability to leverage sustainability as a platform for growth.
The Republic Services Polymer Center is the nation's first integrated plastics recycling facility. This innovative site processes rigid plastics from our recycling centers, producing recycled materials that promote true bottle-to-bottle circularity. We also formed Blue Polymers, a joint venture with Ravago, to develop facilities that will further process plastic material from our Polymer Centers to help meet the growing demand for sustainable packaging. We are building a network of Polymer Centers and Blue Polymer facilities across North America.
We continue to advance decarbonization at our landfills. As demand for renewable energy continues to grow, we have 70 landfill gas-to-energy projects in operation and plan to expand our portfolio to 115 projects by 2028.

Although we operate across North America, the collection, recycling, treatment, or disposal of materials is a local business, and the dynamics and opportunities differ in each market we serve. By combining local operational management with standardized business practices, we drive greater operating efficiencies across the company while maintaining day-to-day operational decisions at the local level, closest to the customer.
Our customers, including small businesses, major corporations and municipalities, want a partner with the expertise and capabilities to effectively manage their multiple recycling and waste streams. They choose Republic Services because we are committed to exceeding their expectations and helping them achieve their sustainability goals. Our 41,000 team members understand that it's not just what we do that matters, but how we do it.

STRATEGY
Republic Services' strategy is designed to generate profitable growth. Through acquisitions and industry advancements, we safely and sustainably manage our customers' multiple waste streams through a North American footprint of vertically integrated assets.
We focus on three areas of growth to meet the increasing needs of our customers: recycling and waste, environmental solutions and sustainability innovation.
With our integrated approach, strengthening our position in one area advances other areas of our business. For example, as we grow volume in recycling and waste, we collect additional material to bolster our circularity capabilities. And as we expand environmental solutions, we drive additional opportunities to provide these services to our existing recycling and waste customers.
Recycling and Waste
We continue to expand our recycling and waste business footprint throughout North America through organic growth and targeted acquisitions. The 13 million customers we serve and our more than 5 million pick-ups per day provide us with a distinct advantage. We aggregate materials at scale, unlocking new opportunities for advanced recycling. In addition, we are cross-selling new products and services to better meet our customers' specific needs.
Environmental Solutions
Our comprehensive environmental solutions capabilities help customers safely manage their most technical waste streams. We are expanding both our capabilities and our geographic footprint. We see strong growth opportunities for our offerings, including PFAS remediation, an increasing customer need.
SUSTAINABILITY INNOVATION
Republic's recent innovations to advance circularity and decarbonization demonstrate our unique ability to leverage sustainability as a platform for growth.
The Republic Services Polymer Center is the nation's first integrated plastics recycling facility. This innovative site processes rigid plastics from our recycling centers, producing recycled materials that promote true bottle-to-bottle circularity. We also formed Blue Polymers, a joint venture with Ravago, to develop facilities that will further process plastic material from our Polymer Centers to help meet the growing demand for sustainable packaging. We are building a network of Polymer Centers and Blue Polymer facilities across North America.
We continue to advance decarbonization at our landfills. As demand for renewable energy continues to grow, we have 70 landfill gas-to-energy projects in operation and plan to expand our portfolio to 115 projects by 2028.
