Morphology
instructorship = instructor (transparent) = instruct + or + ship
Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ship' to 'instructor' to denote the office or position, which is a regular and clear derivation.
Etymology
The word instructorship comes from instruct, made of in- 'into' and struere 'to build', the same root you see in structure and construct. So an instructorship is the job or position of someone who 'builds' or helps form students' knowledge.
