Where a physics lecturer can go next

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

Physics lecturers are subject professors, teachers, or lecturers who instruct students who have obtained an upper secondary education diploma in their own specialised field of study, physics, which is predominantly academic in nature. They work with their university research assistants and university teaching assistants for the preparation of lectures and of exams, for leading laboratory practices, grading papers and exams and for leading review and feedback sessions for the students. They also conduct academic research in their field of physics, publish their findings and liaise with>other university colleagues.

Also known as physics docent, physics lector, physics educator, university physics lecturer, university physics teacher, senior lecturer in physics, higher education physics teacher, physics instructor, lecturer of physics, physics teacher, university lecturer in physics, physics professor.
