assistant lecturer
Assistant lecturers share university or college lecturers' academic workload, specifically the provision of lectures to students. They prepare and teach classes, and meet with students privately regarding evaluation. They also combine their lecturing and other academic duties with conducting their own research in their field of study. Assistant lecturers occupy an autonomous, full-time position, despite what the subservience element in the occupation title may suggest.
Also called: assistant lecturer in university, university assistant instructor, junior lecturer, lecturer’s assistant, assistant docent, adjunct assistant professor, research assistant lecturer, assistant lecturer in higher education
