university professors

Lecturers with tenure

University professors are faculty members who teach and conduct research at institutions of higher education.

The title typically implies advanced credentials—usually a doctorate—and expertise in a specialized field.

Professors may be tenured, granting job security, or work on temporary contracts.

Beyond teaching, they advise students, publish scholarship, and serve on committees.
