lectureships
Academic speaking appointments
Lectureships are academic positions focused primarily on teaching rather than research.
A lectureship typically carries lower status and pay than a professorship, though the term varies by institution and country.
In British universities, a lectureship is often a permanent teaching post; in American contexts, it may be temporary or part-time: She was offered a lectureship in the history department.
