The present study aims to discuss the precariousness of the teaching labor conditions in contemporary capitalism, particularly addressing the status of the substitute teacher in the magisterium career on academic education. The nature of the study is qualitative and exploratory, based on documentary analysis and interview, due to its approximate bias to the theme, being guided by the theoretical-methodological perspective of historical-dialectical materialism and Marxist ontology. The main results of our investigation indicate that substitute teachers are submitted to visible conditions of devaluation of their teaching activities. His work, marked by transience, almost becomes a necessary requirement for his future hiring as an effective public teacher. In this sense, the teachers are subordinated to receive a remuneration that, in general, is well inferior compared to effective teachers. Their activities are distinguished by the “aulism”, instead of the research and extension, which, in addition to teaching,also compose the basic social functions of the university, whose reference is the production of knowledge and its application.
