Hi....I'm writing a resume to send to a Phd program I want to enter in an American university and here in Japan where I work if one works part-time with a yearly contract in a university one day a week the term is "part-time lecturer", although I'm an EFL teacher and rarely lecture, per se. What would this type of position be called in America? I see the term "adjunct" and "worked as an adjunct" bandied around quite a bit but not sure how it would be used on a resume...anyone know what I should write here? Thanks...
Most institutions realize that terms for non-tenure track, less than full-time positions vary greatly. My titles during my 15 years of part-time teaching have included: lecturer, associate lecturer, adjunct professor, adjunct assistant professor, adjunct faculty member, instructor, adjunct instructor, part-time instructor, and part-time lecturer. If you have only taught at one institution, you should use the title they gave you - but do include a description which outlines the kinds of pedagogy you used. Hworth
"He joking" sensei Thanks, I was interested to see that so many terms are used in the States for working as a "part timer". Since I'm in Japan the title they use is "hijkokin sensei"...sounds a lot like "He joking" actually. So, I want to choose the translation to English that will look best on a resume...to my ears "adjunct instructor" sounds better than "part time instructor" . So I will be going with that. Thanks for the input.
