Portuguese term or phrase: Docentes Colaboradores
This comes from somewhat fragmented content that will be used on a website about a Teaching University in Brazil. I thought of "adjunct professor" or perhaps even "visiting professor", but the definitions in Portuguese are too vague and/or contradictory. Any help would be appreciated!

professors


Explanation:
"Colaborador" in Portuguese is a different way of saying "funcionário". I imagine that in a website displaying "Docentes Colaboradores" they are professors that work or are employed by the institution at hand regardless of their academic level, but I would need more context to be sure.
