'Die Dozentin' (female lecturer) is the feminine form of 'der Dozent' (male lecturer). The suffix '-in' is used by default in German to form the feminine form of job titles.
Der Dozent und die Dozentin betreuen die Projektgruppe gemeinsam.
The male lecturer and the female lecturer are supervising the project group together.
The noun 'Dozentin' (lecturer) is closely related to the verb 'dozieren', which means 'to teach' or 'to give lectures' at university level.
Sie doziert im Fachbereich Kunstgeschichte.
She lectures in the art history department.
This word is used specifically for teachers at universities, colleges, or in adult education. A teacher at a school is not referred to as a 'Dozentin' (lecturer).
Sie arbeitet als Dozentin für Deutsch als Fremdsprache an der Universität.
She works as a lecturer for German as a foreign language at the university.
teacher
'die Lehrerin' and 'die Dozentin' both refer to women who teach. The difference is mainly in the place and type of teaching. A 'Lehrerin' typically works at a school or a similar educational institution. A 'Dozentin' is more likely to teach at a university, college, or in adult education, for example in seminars or courses. The words can be confused because both convey knowledge. For children and school classes, 'Lehrerin' sounds more natural; for adults, seminars, and higher education, 'Dozentin' is more appropriate.

Nach der Pause schreibt die Lehrerin neue Wörter an die Tafel.
