Different speaking positions include university professors, teachers, and guest speakers. In the UK, a professor is an entry-level teacher, while in the US, they are temporary educators. Speaker positions are also available for professionals to give educational speeches at workshops and conferences.
Different types of speaking positions can include potentially filled and vacant positions at a university, as well as opportunities to lead a workshop or seminar as a lecturer. In some countries, the term “professor” may be used to refer to a university professor who is on tenure and also conducts research. In other countries, this refers to a non-school belt teacher who educates but does not conduct research. There are also speaker positions for someone who accepts speaking engagements such as seminars, workshops and conferences.
Teaching positions typically refer to employment opportunities in which a person is paid to speak, usually as a teacher or consultant to others. In the UK, the title “professor” is often used by someone who teaches at a college or university. This position is usually at a very entry-level level and has the same status as “associate professor” in the US and some other countries. Teachers in UK teaching positions often go their way into tenure, which means they can have huge job security and that position can lead to a teaching position.
In the US, however, speaker positions generally refer to educators at a college or university who are more temporarily employed. Tenured positions at American colleges are often referred to as different forms of professor, such as “associate professor” or “research professor.” A professor at a US university is usually only employed for a single semester or is contacted to teach occasionally rather than full time. Most lecturer positions in the US are considered to be an opportunity where someone does little or no research in the faculty and just teaches classes.
There are also some lecturer positions that exist outside of the educational environment of colleges and universities. These opportunities are usually aimed at someone who lectures more literally, often as a guest speaker who can educate others through conversation rather than facilitating learning and administering tests. Speaker positions are often available for experienced professionals in different fields who may be invited to attend and speak at a workshop or conference. These types of professors may be asked to deliver an educational speech at a seminar. They can also talk about upcoming developments within an industry and give those entering the professional field guidance and advice to help them.
