Female Teaching Assistant - Female Demonstrator
MOA'ED (معيد), or Teaching Assistant- also called demonstrator- (must have a Bachelor degree; usually graduated top of the class).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_ranks_in_Egypt
Here in the slang chat it is written Mo3eda (who is the FEMALE one)
(3) here is pronounced the same way as (a')

: The answer was posted more than 7 hours earlier. We don't say female... because the rest of the sentence will let the reader know her gender, and she said...etc. The second suggestion will sound very strange to Americans.

Dear colleague,
Good Day,
I tended to give you different options as alternatives only to choose what suits you. Lecturer does not mean a professor and does not need a PhD. You can check these links. The answer given by my colleague was given by me 8 hours before here. the habit of posting repeated answers long after they are being posted and trying to wrong the answers posted by other colleagues is not good actually.

: demonstrator - teaching assistant are both correct but female lecturer تعني مدرس في الجامعة و هي درجة تحتاج للدكتوراه

No, lecturer does not mean مدرس في الجامعة أو أنه يحتاج لدكتوراة. lecturer means a person who gives lectures or .a member of a college or university faculty, especially one without tenure or one that ranks below assistant professor
