The way things work...Just on that specific point... The way things work here is that every member of faculty (whether continuing or fixed-term) in theory has their time divided between teaching/research/admin duties (I guess "service" and "admin" are synonymous here?). <BR/><BR/>If these new positions work as they have done in the past, then their allocated research time will be exactly as for any other member of staff. And total teaching+admin loading will likewise match ours. However, the exact balance between teaching and admin will vary from individual to individual---and this applies just as much to the workload of continuing faculty. <BR/><BR/>So, for example, next year I'm doing virtually no admin, and so more teaching. Last year I did not as much teaching, but a lot more admin. It all comes out in the wash... or at least, that's the ambition.<BR/><BR/>I guess that temporary lecturer positions are likely to have relatively light admin loads---and so a bit more teaching than the average faculty member (more like the workload distribution that I will have next year, if things go to plan). The big thing is that total non-research duties are capped for fixed term faculty just as they are for anyone else. So there's a real sense in which they're "on the same deal" as the rest of us. Which is nice---and certainly isn't a universal feature In the UK, fixed term faculty often have significant admin duties on top of teaching duties. <BR/><BR/>It isn't always as clear as it might be what the differences between various positions are---so one main moral for folks on the market for these positions is to read the fine-print and check out with the institutions they're applying to what the deal is.Robbie Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081389310232077607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30588510.post-35431264568520203872008-05-08T17:27:00.000+01:002008-05-08T17:27:00.000+01:00That sounds terrific.

In America the course load is higher for temporary staff but they have no service obligations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
