Usage notes

In Bulgaria, an асистент (in the academic sense) may either work as a lecturer at a university, or as a researcher at a science institute. They have not completed all habilitation criteria, such as defending a doctoral thesis and having a significant body of work. Progressing to гла́вен асисте́нт (gláven asistént, “chief assistant professor”) requires a doctorate.
