Resumo:
The temporary hiring of teachers, at Universidade do Estado do Pará (UEPA), is characterised by its broad political and economic dimension evidenced in transformations of the world of work and in the meaning of the categories work and teaching work. In the case of the University, it has to do with structural changes of the Brazilian Higher Education, with the crises of global capitalism, with the strategies undertaken by Neoliberals Governments and with the measures that are being taken by the Administration Top of UEPA. Temporary hiring increased in flexibility and devaluation of wages, labor rights, working conditions and the isolation of these workers in direct participation in the production of material and immaterial work of academic, scientific and technological knowledge, further constribue to precarization of the teaching job and enables UEPA as a reference institution in the State of Pará in public higher education quality, free and socially referenced. The overall objective was to analyze the hiring of temporary teachers in UEPA, considering the different courses and its location on campus , under different types of hiring that make worse the teaching job. The specific objectives were to identify changes in the role of the State and its influences on teaching work through State and reforms of higher education; describe the meaning of category teaching work; present the positions of teachers and teaching movement regarding the real conditions of work through temporary hiring in UEPA. The discursive and analytical case of study with qualitative methodological approach characterizes the route chosen. Data collection took place through literature review, the application of questionnaires, interviews and documentary analysis. It was noted that there is the recognition of temporary teachers and UEPA SINDUEPA direction that temporary hiring is a perverse way. Because precarization restricts, divides and compromises the quality of academic work and hinders mobilization, organization and the fight of the category; that intensifies job production and makes that the subjects understand insecurity as a result of the political actions of Governments, States and institutions which adopt neoliberal measures and cause decrease of institutional responsibilities that generate loss of labor rights, unemployment/underemployment and structural flexibility of services.
