Medical - Medical (general) / urgent! | | Dutch term or phrase: assisterend academisch personeel | Think this is what AAP stands for here. This person is the co-supervisor for someone's thesis. Her 'functie' is given as AAP vaccinologie in the Faculty of Medicine at Antwerp University. Some sort of medical technician?
Need an answer within the next couple of hours so thanks for any quick fixes! |

| | Lecturer/Teachin Associate | Explanation:
I can only comment on the situation in North American medical schools. Here we have (clinical) lecturers, which is a part-time/contract position, and (clinical) teaching associates, which is an appointed position. The latter would be most likely to be asked to co-supervise a thesis. Both of these positions require an MD + Ph.D.
(Clinical) instructors are a bit lower in rank, may or may not have a Ph.D., and usually teach only one specific course for one or more semesters.
The word 'clinical' is used when the teaching is mostly hands-on/bedside teaching, as opposed to giving lectures.

That should be 'Teaching Associate" of course. |

| Grading comment As I mentioned, it was urgent so I'd already delivered by the time this came in and had opted for 'lecturer' on the basis of Barend's ref. info. In fact Kirsten's link more or less confirmed that as it introduces the list of different types of staff saying "ETF has a qualified faculty of diverse theological backgrounds, consisting of professors and lecturers from Belgium, The Netherlands as well as other European countries and even other continents", but then proceeds to translate the titles literally (sorry, Kirsten!), including using the ubiquitous Drs. and Prof. Dr. titles I loathe seeing in English text (!). However, this morning I heard from a contact at UCL with access to the internal terminology database of KUL/UCL, compiled by those in the know with native-speaker input, and assisterend academisch personeel is translated various ways there: junior academic staff (AAP), teaching and research assistants, junior faculty staff, junior faculty members. Of those I think [b]teaching and research assistant[/b] or simply [b]junior faculty member[/b] would suit best here and have since submitted them to the end client to consider alongside 'lecturer'. Thanks to everyone!
