| Oct 19, 2014 at 12:27 | comment | added | xLeitix | I think non tenure track assistant professors are usually more teaching-oriented positions at research universities. Essentially, "non tenure track assistant professor" is a sexier way to say "lecturer". However, I am not american, so take this with a grain of salt. | |
