This thread will be dedicated for those interested in lecturing. I will scout for available positions and you can post if you have any.

A young graduate aspiring to be a lecturer should endeavour to know the following:

Education Background.
If you have a single major (B.Sc),it will be difficult to secure a lecturing job due to Teachers Registration Council law that mandates all teachers to posses education background that is,you either have Professional Diploma in Education (PDE) or Postgraduate Diploma in Education (PGDE). Those with double major (B.Ed) are convered except those with 3rd class and Pass.

With this,you can become a Graduate Assistant Lecturer in any University and Assistant Lecturer in a poly and College of Education


Masters (M.Sc)
This qualification is needed in the University,Polytechnic and College of Education. Pls,make sure it is Academic Masters that can proceed to Phd. Professional Masters is not allowed in lecturing job. You must meet 60% aggregate to.proceed to Phd,otherwise you can only proceed to Mphil Phd which also depends.on your aggregate.

For those with Professional Masters,you can go through Mphil.Phd to.covert your Masters to Academic Masters before proceeding to Phd. Mphil is like pre-degree or diploma at Masters level.

With this,you can become Lecturer 1 & 2 in any of the education sector and 15yrs experience in a College of Education,you can become a Chief Lecturer which is the bar in that setting. You will be an Assistant Lecturer in a University and Lecturer 2 in a Polytechnic.

PHD
This is the climax of education in any setting. With this,you can reach the top with your years of experience. It takes 3 or more years to.bag Phd depending on the institution.

Conferences & Papers.
This is another important thing in lecturing. Your promotion depends on conferences attended( local and international),books,and journals written. You co-author as well. It is advisable,if you have passion for lecturing,you start from the day you start your Postgraduate Course because the price is either removed or subsidized for posgraduate students.

Professorship
It is an award given to scholars whose work stand the test of time and soley depends on journals,books,conferences attended and experience is what makes one become a Professor.

Jobs
You can easily secure jobs in lecturing if you have passion and put your ears on ground because alot of available openings are rarely advertised. A good example is the just approved 6 Universities,you may not swe their advertisement but if you go there in person,your dream job can be gotten same day. All these Universities have certain days of the week they conduct interviews.

Yes,if you're second class upper. You're a trained teacher and member of TRCN bu virtue of your education background.
That is what I advice young lads to do now,it pays..!

Yes I am.
Thanks for the info, I have a passion for lecturing job.

Can i apply for lecturing job with my b.tech (2nd class upper) but no pde or pgde.

You can, but others with Pde or Pgde will have an edge over you.

You can't get a job in physics department of any university with a Bsc Ed. You are however qualified for lecturing in education physics only. I still think it's more stress than one bargains for

You can, a lecturer that teaches physics, had to do pGDE for them to retain him. Bsc.ed is education and physics not b.ed(physics education), a lot of difference.

Ocheinstein:

I bet to disagree. Both of them can lecture,they have education background. They both did teaching practise and are members of TRCN so,no discrimination.

The problem they have is this,B.ed can only do.Masters in Education field while Bsc.ed can do Masters in both the field he/she specialise and also in education. You can ask that your friend again,there is something he's not telling you.

You can proof me wrong with facts and not hearsay bro.!
