visiting lecturer
Invited academic presenter
A visiting lecturer is an academic who teaches at an institution temporarily, typically for a semester or academic year, while holding a position elsewhere or between permanent appointments.
The role usually involves teaching rather than research obligations: The department brought in a visiting lecturer to cover the professor's sabbatical.
Distinguished from permanent faculty by the limited duration of the appointment.
