Call for Applications: Douglas A. Garofalo Fellowship 2023–24

The School of Architecture at the University of Illinois Chicago is now accepting applications for the 2023–24 Douglas A. Garofalo Fellowship. Named in honor of the architect and educator Doug Garofalo (1958–2011), the nine-month fellowship provides emerging designers the opportunity to teach design studio and seminar courses and conduct independent research, culminating in a public lecture at the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts and an exhibition or public conversation at the school.

Since its founding nearly a decade ago, the Garofalo Fellowship has made an essential contribution to the school’s culture through participants’ design and pedagogical agendas. Past fellows include Molly Hunker (SPORTS), Pier Paolo Tamburelli (baukuh, San Rocco), Sarah Blankenbaker, Francesco Marullo, Fosco Lucarelli (Microcities, SOCKS), Anne Dessing (Studio Anne Dessing), and Johannes Berry (SUGIBERRY).

Operating from within Chicago’s only public research university, the UIC School of Architecture is committed to architecture as a cultural practice. The school derives much of its energy and unique perspective from its award-winning, international faculty, 40 percent of whom were born or educated outside of the United States. The Garofalo Fellowship aims to allow an emerging architect to benefit, as Doug did, from the opportunity to teach and conduct research within this generative environment at an early stage of practice.

Applicants should submit the following materials to the Garofalo Fellowship search committee via the application form on the school’s website:

—Curriculum vitae
—Proposal describing research to be conducted as the Garofalo Fellow (500–750 words)
—Statement describing teaching experience and approach (500–750 words)
—Portfolio of selected work (no more than ten pages)
—Names and contact information of three references

Applicants must apply as individuals; no group applications will be accepted. The successful candidate will be expected to be in residence in Chicago from mid-August 2023 through mid-May 2024. The fellowship is the equivalent of a full-time faculty position and receives a salary.

Applications must be received by 11:59pm CST on February 1, 2023. Finalists will be asked to visit Chicago for an interview and public presentation in March 2023. All applicants will be notified of their status by April 2023.
