Portuguese term or phrase: professor catedrático vs. professor titular
I would like to understand the difference between: professor: catedrático, titular, auxiliar, associado, and how these correspond to US professorships: Full, Associate and Assistant. I think associado=associate and auxiliar=assistant, but does catedrático or titular = Full? If Titular is Full, what is catedrático? Many, many thanks!

Explanation:
Traduzi essas categorias da seguinte forma num trabalho que realizei já há algum tempo (e depois de muita pesquisa):
professor catedrático = full professor
Prof. associado com agregaçao = associate professor (w/ aggregation)
professor associado e auxiliar com agregação = associate/assistant professor (w/ aggregation)
professor auxiliar = assistant professor
Leitor = lecturer

Nunca precisei de traduzir professor titular, mas penso que poderá ser "titular professor" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_rank)

Espero que ajude...

Outra alternativa que encontrei foi "titular head professor" http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?pid=S1413-78522001000400004&...

No entanto, prefiro apenas "titular professor" - se fizer uma busca em google.com encontrará várias referências.

lecturer, assistant


Explanation:
The difference between the 2 is that the "professor catedrático" lectures, the "professor titular" is an assistant. The first ranks above the latter. "Cátedra" is a lecture about a specific or specialized subject matter or matters.
