The School of Writing, Literature, and Film invites applications for one or more fixed-term, non-tenure-track full/part-time Instructor positions to teach on a term-by-term basis for the 2025-2026 academic year.

Composition, Technical and Professional Writing, Business Writing, Creative Writing, Intro to Literature, Applied Journalism, and English-oriented ESL.

As part of the College of Liberal Arts, the School of Writing, Literature, and Film is a community that includes and values the voices of all people. As such, we recognize the social barriers that have systematically marginalized and excluded people and communities based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual identity, socioeconomic background, age, disability, national origin and religion. We are committed to the equity of opportunities, and strive to promote and advance diverse communities. We value and proactively seek genuine participation from these historically under-represented and underserved groups, and recognize them as an essential component of creating a welcoming and rich academic, intellectual, and cultural environment for everyone.

Oregon State is a leading research university located in one of the safest, smartest, greenest, most environmentally responsible small cities in the nation. We are located in Corvallis, situated 90 miles south of Portland, and an hour from the Cascades or the Pacific Coast in the heart of Western Oregon's Willamette Valley. Founded in 1868, Oregon State is the state's Land Grant university and is one of only two universities in the U.S. to have Sea Grant, Space Grant and Sun Grant designations. Oregon State is also the only university in Oregon to hold both the Carnegie Foundation's top designation for research institutions and its prestigious Community Engagement classification.
