Department Summary Established in 2000 and building on the tradition of the Wayne Morse Chair of Law and Politics (1978), the Wayne Morse Center serves as an interdisciplinary hub dedicated to advancing education, research, dialogue, and civic engagement on pressing public issues that impact Oregon, our nation, and the world. The Center is active in the community as well as within the academy. It offers specialized programs for undergraduate, graduate, and law students at UO; facilitates experiential learning, skills-building, and career guidance; provides funding for student and faculty research; and hosts distinguished speakers for in-person and livestreamed lectures, panels, and events that are free and open to the public. The WMC carries forward the legacy of Oregon's former U.S. Senator Wayne Morse, an outspoken champion of public education, justice, inclusive democracy, and the rule of law. The Center is committed to the principles of equity, inclusion, and integrity. It is dedicated to building a culturally diverse and pluralistic learning environment where students, staff, faculty, speakers, and guests from a range of backgrounds and different viewpoints feel welcome. Located within the traditional homelands of the Kalapuya people, the WMC is housed in Knight Law Center on UO's Eugene campus. It is endowment-funded and relies on gifts from supporters to fulfill its mission. In addition to this position, the Wayne Morse Center staff includes an Accounting Coordinator, an Administrative Program Specialist, and two Co-Directors. An advisory board composed of faculty and community leaders offers guidance and support for the Center. The position is a 12-month, 1.0 FTE Officer of Administration appointment subject to annual review. It reports to the Co-Directors and supervises key duties of the classified staff and student workers. The WMC's activities follow a cyclical pattern.

The position entails some evening and weekend work, staffing events, and includes occasional travel within Oregon. Position Summary The Associate Director for Communication and...
