Spanish term or phrase: academico de asignatura
Encontré este término en un documento educativo de México y se lo diferencia de “académico de tiempo completo’
Aca en los glosarios encontré A-level professor, pero en este caso no se aplica me parece, uno porque esta relacionado la educación superior, y otro porque es para el mercado americano.
Agradezco sugerencias.

Explanation:
If "asignatura" refers to a particular subject within a complete curriculum, then one who teaches only that subject would be either a part-time teacher, or an industry professional who does a specialized class. Since the context includes reference to full-time teachers, then this seems to me to be the idea. Hope this helps. Suerte!

Explanation:
En base a la siguiente descripción de una fuente mexicana, lo que distingue a un académico de asignatura no es solamente el tiempo que dedica (ya que el académico de carrera también puede ser de medio tiempo), sino que es nombrado específicamente para dictar ciertas materias.

ARTÍCULO 5.- En razón al tiempo de labores que destine a la universidad, el personal académico podrá
ser:
a) DE ASIGNATURA, cuando su designación deba hacerse por cada una de las materias que imparta
o coadyuve a impartir, a las que destinará el tiempo que señale el plan de estudios correspondiente.
b) DE CARRERA, cuando su designación se haga por tiempo completo o medio tiempo. Es de
tiempo completo cuando deba dedicar a sus actividades académicas cuarenta horas a la semana, y
de medio tiempo si sólo dedica a ello veinte horas semanales.
