Reference: Refs. Reference information: https://www.linguee.com/spanish-english/translation/profesor... (I don't use Linguee often as I do not find them particularly reliable) External sources (not reviewed): Susana Beltrán es **profesora doctora** de Derecho Internacional Público (UAB), acreditada en investigación (AQUCat) y PCD (ANECA). cidob.org Susana Beltrán is a **Permanent Lecturer** in International Public Law (UAB) and an Accredited Lecturer in research (AQUCat) and PCD (ANECA). cidob.org I agree with you that "Professor Doctor" seems to be overkill. **Profesora doctora** en la Facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociología, Universidad Complutense, Madrid (España) metropolis-server.com **Professor Doctor** at the Faculty of Political Sciences and Sociology, University of Complutense, Madrid (Spain) metropolis-server.com Another option I saw was "Tenured Professor". Here: Profesor Doctor Erimeier - Translation into English - Reverso https://context.reverso.net/translation/spanish-english/Prof... Se mudó a la UCLA como profesora doctora de Matemáticas en 1987. She moved to UCLA as a tenured Professor of Mathematics in 1987. Is Professor higher than Doctor? It is widely accepted that the academic title of Professor is higher than a Doctor, given that the job title of professor is the highest academic position possible at a university. Remember that the Doctor title here refers specially to a PhD (or equivalent doctoral degree) holder and not a medical doctor.18 Aug 2020 Is it better to say professor or Doctor? If someone is a Professor, i.e. that is their actual job title, rather than Lecturer or Reader, then you should never refer to them as Doctor. If you are going to address them formally as Title Surname, then the appropriate title is Professor. If they are not a Professor but have a PhD, then you can say Dr. Is professor the highest degree? 'Dr' denotes someone who has studied for, and been awarded, a PhD, so it denotes an academic qualification: the holder of the highest university degree. ... 'Professor' doesn't denote a qualification but an academic staff grade – the most senior one. |
