Definition
A junior lecturer or academic instructor at a university, primarily used in German-speaking countries and some European academic systems.
Etymology
From German 'Dozent,' derived from Medieval Latin 'docens' (teaching), related to 'docere' (to teach). The word reflects the European, particularly German, academic rank system.
Kelly Says
A 'Dozent' is basically a German university teacher below the level of full professor—but the rank doesn't exist in English universities! Different countries literally have different job titles for the same work.
