Can I pursue a PhD while working as an Accounting Instructor/Lecturer? I plan on becoming an Accounting Professor in the near future. What I was hoping to do was pursue my PhD while working for the university as a lecturer/instructor. I read that many people work as a lecturer while pursuing their PhD, and that many universities offer this opportunity. I also read that it usually depends on your field of study. That being said, my question is:

Is this the case for Accounting lecturers?
There are many fields—including accounting—which offer “adjunct” positions which allow professionals to give lectures while not having full PhD qualifications necessary to be a professor. They’re usually advertised as “adjunct” or “contract” positions. But it’s also true that in many disciplines, such instructor positions are given to graduate students. It’s largely a question of how financing in the given program is handled.
