When To Use
An adjunct professor is a college or university professor whose employment is temporary or part-time.Adjunct professor (often shortened to simply adjunct) is typically used to indicate that a professor does not have tenure or is not eligible for tenure. Tenure is a status granted to some professors (after they reach a certain amount of experience) that makes their position essentially permanent.
