advisorship

Counselor's official position

Advisorship is the position or role of being an advisor.

The term appears mainly in academic contexts, where a professor holds an advisorship over graduate students, or in formal institutional settings: She accepted the advisorship of the student government.

The word emphasizes the office itself rather than the act of advising.
