👉 In education, a subprofessorship is an assistant professorial position in the College of Education at the University of California, Berkeley. A subprofessorship is a level below the full-time equivalent of a professorship and can be filled by graduate students who have completed their studies but are not yet employed as faculty members. Subprofessors usually teach for less than 10 hours per week and are responsible for mentoring junior professors and assisting in supervising student teaching assistants.
