Lecturers and Senior Lecturers

UPDATE: Change in How Actions are Submitted

As of February 1, 2017, all Lecturer actions must be submitted through FASA, not emailed to the Office of Academic Affairs.  In addition, you do not need to fill out the application form (“green form”).  Entering the action into FASA takes the place of the application form.  Please bear with us while we update our checklists and instructions.  If you have any questions, please contact us.

Overview

Lecturers are not appointed often in the School of Medicine. They are:

  • individuals who perform a significant amount of the regular instruction with continuing programmatic need in departments and programs;
  • persons of special expertise or scholarly distinction either in the local community or on the nonteaching University staff who are asked on an occasional basis to give a course or part of a course in their special fields;
  • individuals who are employed to meet specific departmental needs created by faculty leaves or unanticipated student load.

The title of Senior Lecturer is associated with a demonstrably higher level of responsibility and teaching excellence than that of a Lecturer, rather than with seniority or longevity.
 

Appointing and Reappointing Lecturers and Senior Lecturers

To appoint, reappoint or promote a Lecturer or to appoint or reappoint a Senior Lecturer, submit the required documentation via FASA.

Note: from the School of Medicine Faculty Handbook: " Promotion to the rank of Senior Lecturer is possible when the needs of the program meet the criteria as determined by a review committee of up to six members, at least three of whom are Academic Council members."
