Where an assistant lecturer can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role an assistant lecturer already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

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 known as college assistant lecturer, higher education assistant lecturer, adjunct assistant professor, university assistant instructor, junior lecturer, lecturer’s assistant, assistant teacher, assistant professor, research assistant professor, assistant docent, college assistant instructor, lector’s assistant.
