"Assistant Lecturer"

Hi

Could anyone please explain to me what exactly is meant by "assistant lecturer".

I am currently employed in an institution (private) where we are all just 'lecturers'!


I know the nature of the role might vary from college to college, but if anyone could provide any insight on this I'd be grateful.

It's nothing more than a naming convention for a junior positions.

The only difference between lecturer and assistant lecturer is that the former gets paid more.

The assistant lecturer would teach 2 hours more than a lecturer a week also.

The Senior Lecturer 2 would be a head of department and Senior Lecturer 3 would be head of school.

AFAIK new entrants start at the bottom of the scale less 10%
