Discussion

Horst Huber (X) May 6, 2012:
Most usually a "Dozent" is indeed one who has done the "Habilitation", i.e. obtained the "venia legendi". The formulation depending on the system into which we are "translating", it would involve a teaching hospital position with tenure track.

(Clinical) Senior lecturer

A "Fachartz" who is "Universitätsdozent" in Austria has obtained a higher doctoral degree (i.e. "Habilitation ") and completed a speciality training.

Best to facilitate the source [Universitätsdozent] in brackets

The US equivalent is clinical associate professor, which requires a substantial amount of publications or similar works. The clinical prefix in the US means part-time; however in the UK, Clinical Senior Lecturer it's a "tenured" position. In Austria it's not tenured.

disagree Lirka : lecturer is inappropriate, at least in the eyes of a "Dozent" :)//even with the addition of 'Senior', or 'University' lecturer, if you will, they'll be furious...

That's why it says "Senior Lecturer" and not Lecturer
agree Harald Moelzer (medical-translator)

Associate Professor for US

no clue about the UK, though :)
Peer comment(s):

disagree Andreas Hild : It misses the point that he or she is a F.A. and hence would be appointed as a Clinical Associate Professor in the US. Best to read through the posting above and follow the links.

I am an MD, and I work with Dozente/Privatdozente all the time; I formulate my answers on the basis of my knoweldge/personal experience rather than 'feelings', though my female intuition helps, too :)
