I have never seen the title "lecturer" used in the US. Can you recall where you saw it? The title "instructor" is quite common when the person does not have a PhD.
- pgbovine 9y agoLecturers are part- or full-time teaching faculty (usually not tenure-track, but some schools like UC's have tenure-track Lecturer tracks) e.g., https://profiles.stanford.edu/48960 https://profiles.stanford.edu/48960
- scott_s 9y agoInteresting, it was not a title used in the schools I attended (Virginia Tech, William and Mary) or have I seen it used elsewhere. I just checked Harvard, and they use it, too, so it's not just a west coast thing.
- wl 9y agoLecturer is used at the University of California for instructors with a PhD and no research responsibilities. Some of them even have a form of tenure, "security of employment."
- schoen 9y agoA prominent example in computer science was Brian Harvey https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~bh/ https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~bh/ who designed and then taught the introductory computer science course (CS 61A) for many years and is now retired.
- rifung 9y agoI believe lecturer is used even if they don't have PhDs. At least this was the case at UCSD where we had several.
