Rehabilitation Sciences Sector
Adjunct Lecturer
Description:
To be eligible for an Adjunct Lecturer appointment, the individual must hold employment with another institution and possess specialized expertise or learning that is of value to the department. The job description at the other institution is primarily non-academic in nature. For example, a candidate might be an employee in industry or government or a professional who has specialized qualifications for teaching purposes. This category includes, among others, individuals in the Rehabilitation Sciences Sector who are registered practitioners employed by one of the University's affiliated sites and/or with a private clinic or organization whose primary role is to provide practical teaching. The appointment formally acknowledges their on-going contributions to the University. Adjunct Lecturer appointments do not involve rank and they are not eligible for promotion.
Duration:
Initial adjunct lecturer appointments are offered for a term of 1-3 years, from July 1st to June 30th. Activity reports are to be submitted to the Department Chair on an annual basis. To maintain the appointment and be considered for renewal of an active appointment, an activity report must be submitted annually.
