Adjunct instructor - Adjunct Instructor Portland State University Employee Review

Collaborative team culture with excellent mentorship, meaningful research work, and opportunities to learn new technical and analytical skills.

Workload can be demanding at times, with tight deadlines and occasional lack of clarity around project priorities.

It's a really great opportunity to get up and learn to teach your own class rather than just working with a professor as a TA. Really comprehensive and rewarding experience.

The pay is unlivable unless you're not paying rent. The contract is 15 hours a week, but obviously if you're just starting to teach as a GA, you put in WAY more than 15 hours of work. If you come up against a problem, there is very little oversight or support.
