In Dutch higher education the title ''lector'' is used for the leader of a research group (''lectoraat'') at a [[university of applied sciences]]. The title is officially translated to ''professor'' in English. The lector has a comparable set of tasks as (higher ranked) full professors at a (research) university, albeit at an applied rather than a fundamental scientific level.
