谁知到国外associate professor 和 assistant professor有什么区别?还有一个adjunct professor是什么意思?
Let's use lay terms to understand the differences. When we apply for a job, the position may be a temporary contract job for 6 months. It may be a permanent job forever, but we must pass the probation first.
Temporary position for professorship is an adjunct professorship. Sometimes, a full time well known professor from a famous university can go to another university to join a research program for a few months to a few years. Anyway, all adjunct professors are temporary.
An assistant professorship is an entry level position for new PhD graduates. He/she must work hard to produce enough research publications to obtain his/her tenure, like passing a probation.
An associate professor has passed his tenure (probation) and is a full time permanent staff, though his position is still junior.
A professor is a tenure permanent full time staff and is more senior by promotion.
