University teaching jobs
Academic positions are the ranks and roles within colleges and universities.
The hierarchy typically runs from graduate student through assistant, associate, and full professor, with emeritus status following retirement.
Some positions are tenure-track, offering job security after review, while others—adjunct, lecturer, visiting—are temporary or part-time.
