Assistant AKP Professor at MIT:

The Department of Architecture at MIT announces a tenure-track assistant
professorship in architectural studies to begin in the Fall semester of
2001).  The position is designated as the Aga Khan Career Development
professorship and is supported from a generous gift from the Aga Khan as
part of the Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture at Harvard University
and MIT.

The successful candidate will be involved primarily in the study of
architecture and/or urban design in the Islamic world from the 18th century
to the present, with an interest in historical, cultural, social, and/or
environmental questions.  He/she will demonstrate an ability to engage
critical issues, such as the role of tradition, modernity, and identity
politics in architecture or the impact of recent technologies, economic and
environmental concerns, and/or current debates on architectural theory and
practice in his/her research and teaching.  He/she will provide
intellectual guidance for PhD, SMArchS professional students, and
undergraduates studying issues related to the architecture and urbanism of
the Islamic world in particular, and the developing world in general.
He/she will participate in developing the academic and research programs
supported by the Aga Khan Program, and in integrating coursework related to
the architecture of the Islamic world into the rest of the curriculum in
the department of architecture.

Prospective candidates should have demonstrated accomplishments that
qualify them for the above responsibilities, especially familiarity with
countries with substantial Islamic population and their social, cultural,
environmental, and architectural contexts.  A degree in architecture and
PhD in architecture or related field required; fluency in at least one
language of the Islamic world (Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Urdu, etc.) is
