Lecturer (SA)

UTG Definition:
Provides formal classroom or laboratory instruction in an academic discipline, either independently or under the general supervision of a faculty member. Effective delivery of instructional material, testing and grading are the primary duties of a Lecturer. However, the degree of involvement in course and curriculum development, course scheduling, advising and subject matter expertise differs significantly depending on the prefix. This title can only be used for individuals enrolled in graduate school or in a professional program and the individual's presence at the university is primarily to be a UW student, not an employee.

This job code is meant to be used for short-term lecturers who are also graduate students. This job code is a Student Assistant title, which allows the person to remain enrolled in their existing graduate benefits.

Since this is a Student Assistant title, it does not require posting or the creation of a PVL or waiver. Recruitment, however, should occur: see Article V, Section 6.C., of the Agreement between the State of Wisconsin and the Teaching Assistants' Association: "Employment information will be posted on a clearly identified bulletin board designated by the department and easily accessible to graduate students. The University will maintain a web site on which open positions shall be posted. Open positions do not include: positions reserved for guarantees of support and/or recruiting offers; reappointments (continuing positions); and positions that must be filled within seven (7) days for emergency purposes."
