Adjunct Instructor, Lecturer, Professor…?
I came in to say I’ve been an Adjunct Instructor in the past, and that’s the term I’d use since it’s the most common one and, either way, anyone reading it knows there’s no real difference. However, SpacemanStix’s experience is different. Color me enlightened. I also came in to use run-on sentences.
Agree with everyone else on using the contract title, especially so as it would carry the most weight on a CV / bio. FWIW, I teach finance part time at a University in London and have had a similar experience: contract says “Associate Professor”, Staff ID card says “Visiting Lecturer”, I’m in the online directory as some type of Assistant, payroll has assigned my title some code that nobody can explain, and it seems whomever you ask on the admin side has a different label for me that’s intended to describe my role. Sounds like a common problem at large University’s.
