From sentence: Hermína Týrlová se poprvé se zlínským filmem setkala jako fázařka, animátorka i kreslířka společnosti Ire-film při natáčení baťovské reklamy o gumových hračkách Slon zachráncem (1934).
this "phase person" does the ground work, the moving of the figures ever so slightly in what Czechs call fáze...but I can't find anything to back me up in English, this animator's closest friend...
this much from Kudlov (Zlin studio):
fázař je : grafik, mistr, vymýšlí polohy pohybu, rozkreslí jednotlivé fáze - důležité polohy budoucí animace, animátor pak animuje celý pohyb
thanks!

assistant animator
Explanation:
Animation starts when there are approved layouts (if applicable), designs or models, voice track and timings for the Animator to work with. The Director or Animation Director will assign scenes to Animators who produce the images which, when recorded in sequence, create the illusion of movement. Depending on the project and technique, there can be a single Animator working alone or a large team in which there may be a range of talents and skills from lead animator down to junior assistant. The Director approves the animation or, on a larger project, this may be done by the Animation Director or Supervisor. As scenes are approved, they are cut into the working reel/layout reel so they can be viewed in context before moving on to the next stage. In most cases, Effects Animation will be done after the main animation is complete.

I believe that "key animator" is also used for the assistants directly under the lead animator

as to your text, she probably started as a junior assistant and progressed to a more senior position

graphic artist
A suggestion. From your description and list of her separate roles, there is the animator, so the "rozkreslení fází" is essentially graphic artist's task.

in-between animator
After consulting with an artist friend.
Example sentence:
She began her art career at the age of sixteen, working part-time as an in-between animator at Studio Musashi (an in-betweener is an animator who fills in the poses between the key poses done by more senior animators).
Discussion
"inbetween (-er) - inbetweens are the drawings that fill-in between the keyframes. The inbetweener is the person who draws them". http://www.animationpost.co.uk/doping/glossary.htm<br>
In-between. The drawings that are between the key poses. These are drawn to create fluid transitions between poses. <br>

Now I'm going to sit back and wonder at the fact that the UK and US English appear to be identical. Wow.
Once the key animation is approved, the lead animator forwards the scene on to the clean-up department, made up of the clean-up animators and the inbetweeners. The clean-up animators take the lead and assistant animators' drawings and trace them onto a new sheet of paper, taking care in including all of the details present on the original model sheets, so that it appears that one person animated the entire film. The inbetweeners will draw in whatever frames are still missing in between the other animators' drawings. This procedure is called tweening. The resulting drawings are again pencil-tested and sweatboxed until they meet approval.

i.e. "Koloristé a konturisté" would probably be the "clean-up" animators
Při klasické animaci stojí na začátku tvorby námět, který je následně zpracován výtvarníkem, animátor rozkresluje základní situace a fáze pohybů, které doplňuje fázař. Koloristé a konturisté pak všechny návrhy překreslují na fólie, ze kterých je pak výsledné dílo snímáno2. Díky možnostem techniky se dnes od forem klasické animace upouští a většina animací vzniká počítačovým rozpohybováním kreseb.
