|---|
| Credentials | Master's or Ph.D. in English or related field, teaching certification often preferred | Same as full-time, but may have more flexible certification requirements |

| Employment Type | Full-time, salaried, benefits included | Part-time, hourly or contract basis, fewer benefits |
| Responsibilities | Teaching courses, research, service, curriculum development | Teaching specific courses, limited administrative duties |
