ну вообще-то, ассистент профессора в переводе на английский будет professor assistant (or, more common, "graduate assistant"), а не assistant professor:wink1:
вот, для тех, кто никогда не сталкивался с американской системой образования, или "читает и переводит английский со словарем", просвящайтесь:
In the United States, a person who wants to do research and teach at a college or university usually has a doctorate, the highest degree. But sometimes a school may offer positions to people who have not yet finished their doctorate.
Such a person would be called an instructor until the degree has been completed. After that, the instructor could become an assistant professor. Assistant professors do not have tenure.
A person with tenure cannot be easily dismissed. Such appointments are permanent. University teachers and researchers who are hired with the understanding that they will seek tenure are said to be on a tenure track. Assistant professor is the first job on this path.
Assistant professors generally have five to seven years to gain tenure. During this time, other faculty members study the person's work. If tenure is denied, then the assistant professor usually has a year to find another job.
An assistant professor who receives tenure becomes an associate professor. An associate professor may later be appointed a full professor.
Assistant, associate and full professors at American universities perform many duties. They teach classes. They advise students. And they carry out research that is published. They also serve on university committees and take part in other activities.
