We are seeking candidates with advanced training in landscape design/landscape architecture, as well as industry experience with landscape construction and landscape management. Applicants must have experience in one or more of the following areas: residential horticulture, grading/drainage, contracts/bidding, ecological landscape design, landscape graphics, and turfgrass management.

In addition, the Departments of Plant & Soil Science (PSS) and Community Development and Applied Economics (CDAE) at the University of Vermont (UVM) invite applications for a full-time Lecturer position specializing in Design and Graphics for Ecological Landscape and Community-Centered Design. Applicants must have training and previous experience in one or more of the following areas: landscape design/architecture, urban and rural land planning, as well as applied design processes and graphical execution of design ideas. Ability to teach traditional studio techniques and computer-based applied design and/or visual communications courses is essential.

Collectively these two positions will serve UVM’s undergraduate majors Agroecology and Landscape Design (PSS), and Community-Centered Design (CDAE), as well as an emerging master’s program in Ecological Landscape Design in PSS, and a broader connection to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals via programming in CDAE.

All applicants are required to hold a master’s degree in landscape architecture or a closely related field.
