Thanks for the invitation. As a member of the teaching staff of a University, I spend an average of 50 hours a week (teaching, research and administrative activities).

We are required to spend 40% of our time, so you spread out this time according to your due dates for submissions for seminars and journal articles. The latter should take up 516 hours for a calendar year. I hope this helps.

Best regards,

Debra

As I am retired and now independent, my load has decreased! I reply with estimates from my last years before I retired from university affiliated research. I assume that you are interested in the nominal ratio of research to teaching loads.

Research: 7 hours per week (Nominally "Friday")

Teaching: 28 hours per week (Nominally "Monday-Thursday")

Total: 35 hours per week

Over peak periods and during fire-fighting, work would spill into the evenings, weekends and holidays, which was the rule more than an exception!

Your question asks for various answers according to each researcher's agenda, physical capacities (state of health) and intrinsic will. In my case I consider my hourly volume is 30 to 40 hours per week

Normally take at least 30 hours per week.

A new course you teach requires considerable amount of time for preparation and this decreases as years go on

Dr. Debra, thank you for your answer.

Dr. Ian, Thanks a lot for your answer.

Proffesor Fadel,

Thanks for your answer.

Dear Colleague,

I Spent on my research work in daily 4 hours 

Thank you

I take at least  3 hrs . per day

Dr. Maythem,

Thanks for your remarks,

Since we are required (30 hours totally per week), teaching hours differ from Assistant Lecturer to professor.

In my case, 12 hours required for teaching, 6 hours for research and the rest for different jobs in the department.

I agree with you, new course teaching requires (full time) and it decreases as year go on.

Regards.

How many hours do you spend for research, preparing seminars and lectures?

I spend around 12 hours per week on research as I work full time as IT architect.  I will spend a bit more times for those occasions that I need to present in research conferences.

Dr. Russell,

Thanks for answer,

I think for your case and (mine), working with group is better since most of time we are engaged with teaching , preparation of the materials.

Hope you good luck.

Thank you for your answer Dr. Dunya.

Dear Alaa,

Thank you for your invitation. In fact, I do not think I have  specified for your mentioned matters. But I have  a little time and limited to enjoy with my family and a specific period for the enjoyment of the holiday journey. Reading is taken almost all my time.

Dears Dr. Muhammad Khan, Dr. Aristidis Matsoukis and Professor Fikrat Hassan,

Thanks a lot for your answers.

Regrads.

It depends on the type and method of research. For me, from 6-8 hours a day.

Dear Alaa Khalid,

It depends; each semester differs from another;

For example in  this semester I spend around 4 hours daily (20 hours weekly); so firstly, it depends according to free bandwidth I have;

Secondly, it depends on the research it self, the resource availability, the methodology to be applied, the study population and sample ... etc.

 Regards,

Thank you Dr. H. N. Hashim and Dr. Hadeel Saad for your answers.

Dear Dr Alaa, the hours were depend acoording to theorical seminal , practical examination , mostly 3-6 hr /day or more

It depends 3-4 hours

For preparing lectures, 2 hours daily (10 hours a week)

For actual classroom teaching 2.5 hours daily (12.5 hours a week)

As support, administrative and office hours 1.6 hours daily (8 hours a week)

As being M.Phil researcher... during study period it took me 3 hours at least, depending upon stuff while weekend sometimes goes full time.

On the other hand, i do have an experience of teaching at demonstrator level... which was 6 hours per week for class teaching ... and 1-2 hours per day for preparation of lectures.   

At least 6 hours per day and some times more for complex research. And  even I am out of work time I still thinking.

Dr. Ibrahim Alrashid, thank you for your answer, (by the way, I'm not a doctor, hope to be one day.). :) .

Dear,

This varies according to the activities and degree. A Doctor who needs to comply with a minimum of research and publications, does not work less than 50 hours per week.

Greetings!

 I hope the following article might be useful for someone:

"How long should writing a paper take, on average?"

http://ask.metafilter.com/60976/How-long-should-writing-a-paper-take-on-average

I spend the time as under:

1. Six hours per day for teaching

2. two hours per day on University administration

3. Do research every day as per availability of time

4. 2-3 hours on leisure and family

The first year is very complex and takes many hours the preparation of classes, the three first years remain complex, but if there is not changes in the programmation the effort is less after that time. I think it is very difficult to live in a great city with many hours in transports.

I am spending  10-14 hours every day even in holidays. These hours include researching, teaching, administration work, and participation in research gate and other scientific media.

Dears Dr. Osmar Bonzanini, Proff. Fikrat Hassan, Proff. Subhash C. Kundu, Dr. Mariano Ruiz Espejo, Dr. Aly Abdel Moemin, Dr. Chalamalla Srinivas, thank you all for your answers and participations,

Greetings.

Dear Alaa Khalaf,

In my case, work is a pleasure. Teaching, self conducting classes is approximately 10-12 hours per week (5 days). The next 10 hours is to check written work, correcting subsequent versions of theses. About an hour daily administrative and organizational. To 2 hours per week counselling for students. This gives about 5 hours a day. The rest of my time is spent on reading, writing, reviews, articles, development and testing, data query, patch my texts, participation in conferences, councils, committees, etc. Usually I'm working from 8 am to 4 or 5 in the afternoon. So it really is work all day. New lectures preparing a holiday for the whole next year.

Greetings,

Jan

Thank you Proff. Jan A. Wendt for your answer.

Have of my  time should  be for research  and postgraudte students

up to 40% of our time, as mentioned by Dr. Debra.

Emad

Difficult question. I can not count thеse hours. The truth is that time is never enough. There is always something more to do, something more to change, something more to improve. Even when we are not in the lab, among students or with our computer, we continue to think about our research, our lectures, our students. This is not an ordinary profession, it is our life.

countless

depends on subject , sometimes 1 day, sometimes 1 month :)

as an independent researcher, I spend more than half my time to research

For  the first time, I need a lot of hours, because I am analysing the auditors, students and pupils. But later on my time needs are reduced because of already done work. But always I feel the necesscity to analyze the abilities of my audience. 

For the first paper we need many hour for many month after that depend of topics

regards

Researcher and teacher is a difficult job need more time, for e.g one lecture preparation may need more time than that period of showing  lecture which ranged between one to three hours   

To Artur Braun:

You are absolutely right  !

Working on research and preparing for lectures are labor of love. They take whatever they take; i.e. until perfection is achieved. They are not controlled by a budgetary term such as hours.  Sleep less so that you have more time  to work on your lectures or research.  

Educational institute they are not asking for your time, but your devotion. In industry you  get what your paid for; thus time is the currency. 

Dears Mr. Dwaipayan, Proff. Ishag Adam, Proff. Emad Kamil, Proff. Barbara Sawicka, Dr. Radostina Alexandrova, Proff. Rajeev Dwivedi, Proff. Recai Kus, Mr. Luca Antonellini, Dr. Hanno Kriegerm, Proff. Malek Alksasbeh, Dr. Artur Braun, Mr. Ahmed Gaffer, Dr. Leonid Vladimirov, Dr. Sirous Yasseri, Dr. Humberto Lucero,

Thank you all for your answers and valuable participations.

Greetings to all.

For all activities of seminars, presentations, research projects, preparation of papers for publication and analysis of results, 8 hours a day, 6 days a week.

It depends on long term goals, quality of work and department, usually new faculty has been seen too busy with research even after hours as well. Good faculty usually have 50-60 hour work week I would guess..

I have send 15 hrs as per day for only my research work.

Often 14-17 hrs per day for my articles

Dears Dr. Jose Luis Vigil, Dr. Hammad Cheema, Dr.Palanisamy Subramanian, Dr. Ali Asghar Heidari,

Thanks for your participation and sharing your answers.

Regards

generally about 25 to 40 hours per week
