Lecturer

Lecturers are faculty members who are not on the tenure track. They may be full-time (with non-contingent appointments) or part-time (with contingent appointments), and may have multi-year contractual entitlements. Formerly referred to as “temporary faculty,” the term “lecturer” is generally preferred and more accurate.
