The Division of Global Engagement (DGE) works to make the University of Oregon a more global university. In the 21st century, international engagement is a core mission essential to a thriving, socially salient, intellectually robust academic community. DGE supports and integrates a wide range of international engagements, global‑scale projects, and transnational partnerships launched and maintained in our many academic units. Units within DGE include International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS), Global Education Oregon (GEO), and the Global Studies Institute (GSI).

The University of Oregon is a member of the Association of Pacific Rim Universities and the Global Sport University Network, and one of only two Pacific Northwest members of the Association of American Universities with a “very high research activity” ranking in the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education.

The Global Studies Institute 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, 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.
