What do you call a person who has an interest to be a lecturer or professor?
If someone has interest (means that they are doing something to achieve that) in being an academic, such as a lecturer for a university, if that person is having educational qualifications which are suitable for that lecturer position and if that person has not become a lecturer yet and if his/her profession is something else now, what is the best word to call that person? Can he/she be called as academic enthusiast?

I don't know a single word for this. I would say they are pursuing an academic career - assuming they are actually doing something to make it happen, not just daydreaming about it, as could be interpreted from your description.

Someone who has set a goal and is actively working towards it is aspiring to (toward?) said goal.
as·pire (verb) direct one's hopes or ambitions toward achieving something.
"we never thought that we might aspire to those heights"
source Merriam-Webster
While used with a wide range of aspirations, a common use is applied to struggling actors or artists.
