lectorship

Academic speaking position

A lectorship is a position as a lecturer, typically at a university or college.

The term refers to the academic appointment itself rather than the duties involved: She was offered a lectorship in medieval history.

In some institutions, a lectorship ranks below a full professorship but carries teaching and sometimes research responsibilities.
