University Lecturer Cover Letter Examples

The main role of a University Lecturer is to teach specific subjects to higher education students in public or private universities or colleges. University Lecturers develop lesson plans, manage student portfolios, set assignments, deliver lectures, run seminars, administer exams and grade papers and tests. They also research their chosen area and work to publish articles in relevant academic publications. In many cases, University Lecturers, unlike those of professors or associate professors, are non-tenured and tenure-ineligible positions. University Lecturers must hold at least a master’s degree in their field; in some cases, a doctorate is preferred.
