College of the Arts
Department of Design
California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) is a minority-serving institution and an affirmative action and equal opportunity employer with a strong commitment to increasing the diversity of the campus community and the curriculum. CSULB faculty are committed teachers and scholars who bring research and creative discovery to students in classrooms, labs, studios, and individually mentored projects.
The Design Department seeks an innovative colleague in Interior Design who can offer studio design courses in interior design including space planning, lighting, graphics, materials of interior design, modeling, introduction to 3D design, and technology as it is used in professional interior design. The Interior Architecture area works closely with the Design Department faculty to ensure that all students have a balanced education that provides the strongest possible foundation for all interior design students and is committed to practices of diversity, equity and inclusion.
CSULB Design is a department within the College of the Arts (COTA), which includes the Departments of Dance, Film and Electronic Arts, and Theatre Arts, as well as the School of Art, the Bob Cole Conservatory of Music, the Carolyn Campagna Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum, and the Carpenter Performing Arts Center (CPAC), and is the state's largest and most comprehensive publicly funded school for the arts, with approximately 4,000 graduate and undergraduate students. Enrollments in the department are representative of our state's demographics including many transfers from California's extensive high-quality community college system.
The Design department takes a holistic, student-centered approach to design education with a focus on teaching, research, and practice that seeks to decolonize design. Using this as a framework, our faculty seeks to equip each of our graduates with the skills, knowledge and confidence to engage in the dynamic and changing field of interior design as practitioners, scholars, educators, and advocates. The Design department seeks an individual with demonstrated ability to teach, advise/mentor, and develop curriculum that supports and empowers the educational goals of individuals from historically marginalized backgrounds, and who is committed to pedagogical practices that are anti-racist and anti-ableist. The ideal candidate is rooted in scholarship and practice and brings expertise in mixed ethnographic and historical research methods through a range of disciplinary approaches, including embodied practices.
