FYI:

The Department of Architecture, the Department of Construction Science and
the Department of Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning at Texas A&M
University seeks five faculty with expertise in the three "signature" areas
of VISUALIZATION, DESIGN FOR HEALTH, and SUSTAINABILITY to join a dynamic,
interdisciplinary research and teaching community. Positions will be filled
at ranks of assistant professor, associate professor or professor as tenured
or tenure-track appointments to teach and conduct research in one of the
three departments. Successful applicants will join a diverse and preeminent
faculty of artists, architects, landscape architects, designers, engineers,
construction scientists, urban planners, environmental psychologists,
sociologists, and computer scientists. 

Candidates should have records of excellence or evidence of extraordinary
potential in research, practice, or creative work in one or more of the
signature areas. Appropriate credentials, such as a doctorate, professional
