The Architecture Program at the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning seeks applicants for fellowships in architecture. Our program is committed to building architectural education upon a plurality of foundations, diverse epistemologies, experiences, histories, methodologies, and technical and conceptual capacities. We understand architecture as a cultural product that negotiates diverse voices and social, environmental, political, and aesthetic concerns, and we are committed to the free and open exchange of ideas to create a transformative environment in which we learn and work together.
The architecture fellowships at Taubman College are among the oldest and most recognized positions of their kind, offering early career opportunities for individuals seeking to make a significant and timely development of their work within an intellectually wide-ranging and dynamic academic setting. Each fellowship entails teaching related to the candidate's area of interest and in the core curriculum, resources for the development of work, possibilities to interface with scholars and researchers in the wider university context, and the opportunity to share the outcome of the fellowship with the college. Fellows spend two years in residence, typically teaching three classes per year, in addition to pursuing their fellowship project. Public dissemination of fellowship work takes place in the winter of their first year. These fellowships are not intended to support dissertation completion, post-doctoral stays, or serve as a pipeline for tenure-track positions at the institution. While these are not post-doctoral fellowships (note the teaching demands and expectations of engagement in studio instruction), we welcome applications from recent doctoral graduates committed to design education. Candidates from a variety of backgrounds, training, and perspectives are encouraged to apply to these fellowships.
Two fellowships will be awarded, selected from the following three categories.
Research
Research focused on some aspects of the range of social, formal, environmental, political, and aesthetic concerns that form the framework of contemporary and historical perspectives regarding architecture and urban issues.
