Graduate teaching assistant; professorship or chair; chaired professor or full professor Explanation: From Oxford SuperLex, for "adscripto: adscripto2 -ta m, f (RPl) (en Arg) graduate student who also teaches in the department; (en Ur) person who carries out certain administrative tasks in a secondary school cátedra f (en la universidad) professorship, chair; [Note: in the US, this is equivalent to a **full** professorship--the top rank for university instructors] catedrático: Again, this is either a "full professor" or someone who has been named to a funded "chaired professorship": a chaired professor. Here are a few examples of "chaired professor" I picked up using Google (Google found 1,200 sites with the term): Stanley Sandler named engineering's first chaired professor Vol. 19, No. 27.

Stanley Sandler named engineering's first chaired professor. ... www.udel.edu/PR/UpDate/00/27/stan.html - 4k Stanley Sandler named engineering's first chaired professor Stanley Sandler named engineering's first chaired professor.

Shur ... www.rpi.edu/dept/NewsComm/Review/nov96/nov22/shur.htm The confusing part about translating the Spanish term is that a cátedra/catedrático falls about halfway between the two meanings in English: someone whose rank is "catédratico" occupies a chair, **but** the chair is not specially funded, the way such chairs are in our own university system. My recommendation is that you go with "full professor" unless the "cátedra" actually has a name attached to it.
