About Architecture at Swinburne

Swinburne University of Technology welcomes applications to join the burgeoning Architecture course at the rank of Lecturer (Level B) full-time.
Having commenced its undergraduate course in 2018, the Architecture course is preparing to launch its postgraduate courses in 2019, including the Master of Architecture, the Master of Urban Design and the joint Master of Architecture and Urban Design.

Located within the School of Design within the Faculty of Health, Arts and Design, Architecture at Swinburne sees architecture as strongly related to other design professions. The School of Design has long been the home to innovative and internationally recognised courses in Communication Design, Media Design, Interior Architecture and Industrial Design. Architecture joins these, alongside Urban Design, and Architectural Engineering, which spans the Faculty of Health, Arts and Design and the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Technology.

While this is a general call for applications, Swinburne Architecture is particularly interested in those whose teaching and research expertise lies in one of the following areas:
• Contemporary theory and design
• Theory and application of BIM
• Health and Design
