Explanation:
See the Nuffic glossary.

leeropdracht
teaching and research remit [BE]; teaching and research mandate

This Dutch term appears in job ads for academic staff. The English translation would seldom appear in an ad. It is therefore better simply to refer to what will be expected of the appointee.

It is probably better to rephrase this as "The professor's teaching and research will comprise (...)" or something along the same lines.

teaching duties


Explanation:
This is more or less the literal meaning, which is used in various academic translations

Example sentence(s):
  • To establish that very specific context, it is necessary to establish what was asked of Fullenius as a teacher. There is no known written assignment, or leeropdracht as the Dutch say, for Fullenius, nor for any of the Franeker math professors.
