"Architecture Instructor Part-time Temporary Pool"

Job Description

Courses in the Architecture Department are designed to serve students who aspire to transfer to other schools of architecture by giving them a sound basis in critical thinking and a fundamental knowledge of the discipline, to offer a two year degree option for those who wish to achieve a solid base of knowledge and skills for work in architecture or related fields, and to present learning opportunities to those whose interest in architecture is directed toward more personal rather than career goals.

The Architecture Department is seeking individuals who can teach the Architectural History series (ARCH 100,101, 102) and/or the Computer Drafting series (ARCH 140, 141), using Vectorworks, SketchUp, and/or other computer drafting and modeling software. If you feel that you have strengths in one or both of these areas, we request that you tailor your application documents accordingly.

Note: College of Marin's faculty pools are open to applications on a continuous basis. Although there may not be any current openings, applications will remain on file until the hiring department has a need to add candidates to their pool OR for up to one year from the date of application, whichever occurs first. If your application becomes inactive after one year, you may re-apply to the pool at that time. Screenings and interviews can be conducted at any point in time as the hiring department necessitates. Once a screening has occurred, applicants will be notified of their status.
