university lecturer
A person who teaches and conducts research at an institution of higher education (such as a university or university of applied sciences), for example a professor or lecturer.

The university lecturer is supervising the student's thesis.
The word is composed of 'Hochschule' (institution of higher education) and 'Lehrer' (teacher). A 'Hochschule' is an institution of higher education such as a university or university of applied sciences.

Alle Hochschullehrer des Instituts nahmen an der Konferenz teil.
All the university lecturers of the institute took part in the conference.
When talking about this profession, people often use the phrases 'als Hochschullehrer arbeiten' (to work as a university lecturer) or 'als Hochschullehrer tätig sein' (to be active/employed as a university lecturer).

teacher
'der Lehrer' and 'der Hochschullehrer' can both mean people who teach. The difference is mainly the place and the professional role. 'der Lehrer' is the general word and fits especially well for school. 'der Hochschullehrer' works at an institution of higher education, for example at a university or university of applied sciences, and often also conducts research. Learners may confuse the words because both teach. If you are talking about school, 'Lehrer' is correct and natural. If it is about a university or university of applied sciences, 'Hochschullehrer' is more precise.
