The Division of Global Engagement (DGE) works to make the University of Oregon a more global university. In 21st century higher education, international engagement is not an optional extra: as noted in UO's Academic Plan, it is a core mission, essential to a thriving, socially salient, intellectually robust, academic community. It is part of the normal functioning of every school, college, department, and center. DGE works to support and integrate the wide range of international engagements, global-scale projects, and transnational partnerships launched and maintained in our many academic units. Units within DGE consist of International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS), Global Education Oregon (GEO), and Global Studies Institute (GSI). The University of Oregon (UO), a member of the Association of Pacific Rim Universities and the Global Sport University Network, is one of only two Pacific Northwest members of the Association of American Universities and holds the distinction of a "very high research activity" ranking in the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education.
The Global Studies Institute (GSI) supports internationally-oriented research centers, programs, and initiatives to enhance faculty research, enrich the student experience, and promote the University of Oregon's academic excellence at home and with partners worldwide. Centers and programs within GSI include the African Sustainability Center, APRU Sustainable Cities and Landscapes Program, Center for Applied Second Language Studies (CASLS), Center for Asian and Pacific Studies (CAPS), Center for Global Health, Global Justice Program, Islamic Studies Initiative, Translation Studies Center, UNESCO Crossings Institute, US-Vietnam Research Center, and several on-campus affiliates and programs related to grants and other external funding sources, events, and professional development.

The Division of Global Engagement invites applicants for temporary, part-time, limited duration teaching positions as Instructors or Professors of Practice to design, lead, or manage for-credit and/or non-credit educational opportunities that support the goals and strategic priorities of UO's Global Engagement Mission. All positions hired from this pool will work primarily from the Eugene campus, though opportunities for some work on, or in collaboration with, other UO-affiliated entities (including global locations) are possible.
Course types may include, but are not limited to:
For-credit courses designed to support UO students as they navigate their global engagement experiences (e.g. study abroad programs, international internships, global research projects).
For-credit courses designed to support the ability of UO's international student community (undergraduate and/or graduate) to achieve their academic and professional goals.
Non-credit seminars or related instructional opportunities designed to introduce UO students to key themes and issues with global relevance.

Other instructional opportunities designed to support UO's Global Engagement Mission.
