The Frederick S. Pardee Institute for International Futures is home to International Futures (IFs), an open-source, integrated assessment and forecasting platform. IFs uses systems dynamics, econometrics, and other quantitative techniques to analyze and explore hundreds of interconnected, macro-level variables across human, social, and natural systems through the end of this century and beyond. We use IFs and other bespoke data tools to inform real-world policy debates and decisions about long-term global trends—from climate change and conflict to development and security. Our work supports a global community of multilateral organizations, governments, and practitioners who are tackling today’s most consequential issues. The Institute maintains 17 full-time staff members, employs approximately 100 students annually, and conducts an average of $1.6 million in sponsored research each year. We are housed within the University of Denver’s Josef Korbel School of International Studies, a world-class academic setting focused on training the next generation of global leaders. The Pardee Institute seeks a part-time, temporary Instructional Designer to design and build fully asynchronous, high-impact learning experiences that help professionals apply the International Futures (IFs) modeling tool in their own work. This role is a good fit for someone who: Enjoys turning complex, technical content into clear, practical learning for busy professionals. Is comfortable working with subject-matter experts (SMEs) and asking probing questions. Cares about accessibility, clean UX, and data-informed iteration. Wants a flexible, remote, project-based role with meaningful global impact. You will translate SME content into job-relevant microlearning with clear objectives, purposeful interactivity, knowledge checks with feedback, and a clean, low-friction user experience that works across bandwidth and devices. The ideal partner balances rigor and accessibility, embraces systems thinking and transparency, and designs primarily for mid-career strategists in the private and social sectors while maintaining credibility with the Institute’s policy-engaged audiences. This is a non-benefited position not to exceed 1,000 hours in a calendar year.
