Who is a "lector"?

A lector is an academic position commonly found in European universities, typically focusing on both teaching and research. Lectors hold advanced degrees and are responsible for delivering lectures, leading seminars, and creating educational materials. They may also supervise students' research projects and contribute to the development of academic programs within their department. In addition to teaching, lectors are expected to engage in research, publish scholarly work, and contribute to their academic field.
