Curator of the Loeb Fellowship
Harvard Graduate School of Design

Job Summary

The Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD) invites nominations and applications for the position of Curator of the Loeb Fellowship. The School seeks an exceptional individual to build upon the legacy of Loeb Curators William Doebele, James Stockard LF '78 and John C. Peterson LF '06. The successful candidate will provide leadership to the Loeb Fellowship and contribute to the GSD community.

The Loeb Fellowship is a year-long residential fellowship for mid-career professionals who are accomplished practitioners, influential in shaping the built and natural environment, whose work is advancing positive social outcomes in the US and around the world. Loeb Fellows spend an academic year at Harvard's GSD where they have access to the intellectual and critical life of the University. The Fellows—approximately 10 each year—are selected based on their potential to use the resources of the GSD, the University, and the current and past Fellows to become even more effective leaders and to have a greater impact as a result of their Fellowship year.

The Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD) educates leaders in design, research, and scholarship to make a resilient, just, and beautiful world. The GSD offers degree programs across a range of design disciplines—architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, urban design, design engineering, and real estate—as well as advanced research programs that cut across all of these disciplines, and a robust public program of lectures, exhibitions, and publications. Taken together, the immense variety of people, programs, and ideas represented at the School sustains a vibrant and rich environment for learning, inquiry, and collaboration unlike that of any other design school.

Now in its sixth decade, the Loeb Fellowship was founded with a gift from John L. and Frances Loeb. Over the past fifty-three years the Fellowship has offered the resources of Harvard to a diverse group of over 500 Loeb Fellows from 40 states and 34 countries. For more information see: and .

Candidates are encouraged to apply by April 26, 2024. However, applications will be reviewed on a continuing basis and the search will remain open until the position is filled.
