The Assistant Teaching Professor is also known within the UC as an LPSOE ( Lecturer with Potential for Security of Employment). The LPSOE series parallels the research-focused series but with emphasis upon excellence in teaching and other instruction-related activities. Individuals in the position are expected to provide outstanding teaching as well as to engage in professional activity (which can include research on pedagogy) and service related to the pedagogical mission of the department and university. This appointment confers membership in the Academic Senate.
I did a few searches of the fora, but didn't turn anything up, so if you know of existing threads, let me know. Thanks!
mleok: There is quite a bit of variance in terms of how these positions are employed across the different UC campuses and departments. In my department (mathematics), we have a small number of them (5% of our full-time faculty), and they are charged with administering the lower division undergraduate courses, and training the graduate students and teaching visitors who handle a significant fraction of the teaching at this level. These are nice positions for strong teaching faculty, with opportunities for advancement in salary, and the possibility for the equivalent of tenure (security of employment) evaluated on the basis of teaching and service.
teatree: Thank you for the info. I recently received several recommendations for candidates from lectureres with SOE at UC---I was guessing tenure or something similar, which was not very far from that.
mleok: In the UC system, security of employment should be considered as the equivalent of tenure, a LPSOE (Lecturer with potential security of employment) is equivalent to an Assistant Professor on the teaching track, a LSOE (Lecturer with security of employment) is equivalent to an Associate Professor on the teaching track, and a Senior Lecturer is the equivalent of a Professor on the teaching track, and they have similar voting rights to the professors in the corresponding rank. In fact the starting salary for Senior Lecturer is the same as the starting salary for Full Professor on the UC salary scale, although I suspect that market based off-scale salary adjustments are more common for tenure-track and tenured faculty (referred to as Ladder-faculty).
Lecturers with SOE tend to be the ones who write the teaching letters of recommendation for our graduate students and postdocs who are on the job market, as they are charged with administering the lower-division undergraduate courses, which is the level at which the graduate students and postdocs tend to teach.
其实我觉得我们都应该尊重这些教本科大课的老师们。如果没有他们兢兢业业，我们怎么能逃开200人甚至500人的本科大课。。记得有一个学期我们intro to CS课雇了30个 TA，TA开会要借一个正经教室才能开。 【 在 rogue1 (矿业一号) 的大作中提到: 】 : 跟中国把失业叫下岗有啥区别。。。。 : The Assistant Teaching Professor is also known within the UC as an LPSOE (: Lecturer with Potential for Security of Employment).

我们不仅要尊重这些教本科大课的老师们，而且要认识到他们才是一个大学的中流砥柱。任何一个大学都应该优待那些teaching faculty。

这个SOE法律上是咋样的？
谁去读读他家handbook
不能开？
有投票权？
还是只是三年一renew的合同？这样的话跟多数大学的senior lecturer也没什么区别啊
这样的（假设有phd）人为何不去小学校拿个真tenure
反正也要research和service

这应该是历史遗留问题，老讲师，安慰奖
其实多数学校直接叫Teaching Professor，或者Professor of Practice, Clinical
Professor
多数学校也没钱雇“Secured”讲师
本科大课扔给博士生或者新AP教就是了
本身需要training 工资又低

我在UC工作过
负责任的讲，UC的这个职位待遇很好，和普通的tenure track教授同级别工资是完全一样的
也可以爬UC的工资ladder， 每两年可以升一级 涨大概5%左右的工资
工作量也不大，teaching load 2+2， （research tenure track是1+1）
喜欢教学的人， 这个职位很好，远远好过其他大学的teaching position
其实可以叫 *** professor of xxx Education
