Part-time Faculty

The Department of Communication hires qualified, part-time instructors for Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer terms. Courses that typically draw part-time faculty include SP100 Introduction to Communication, SP220 Public Speaking, and SP399 Introduction to Public Relations. We are also seeking qualified instructors to teach the Senior Capstone course (particularly in the Summer term), a 6-credit course that matches senior students with a community partner. Prospective faculty are encouraged to contact Seanna Kerrgian (kerrigs@pdx.edu) for more information.

Part-time instructors should have an earned master's degree or relevant terminal degree (at minimum), and are invited to mail a letter of interest and a curriculum vitae or resume to the Department of Communication, Part-Time Faculty Coordinator, Portland State University, PO Box 751, Portland, Oregon 97207-0751.
