Selon le \"Harvard Graduate Programs in the Classics\", \"Ancient History\" est une section du \"Classics\".

\"The Department has been at the forefront of graduate education in ***Classics*** for well over a century. It offers a variety of approaches, emphasizing a wide range of knowledge and skills rather than a narrow early specialization. Traditionally, the Ph.D. in Classical Philology has been the degree taken by most doctoral candidates, but the Department also offers degrees in ***Ancient History***, Classical Archaeology, Classical Philosophy, Medieval Latin, Byzantine Greek, and Modern Greek.\"

Explanation:
Considérant que le système des postes académiques dans les universités anglaises ou US ne correspond que très moyennement au système français, en outre sans la notion de poste titulaire de l'Education nationale, je garderais la terminologie d'origine.
De plus, la définition de "associate professor" et les conditions d'attribution du poste peuvent varier légèrement d'une université à une autre.
Enfin, classics pourrait être traduit par "études classiques", comme autrefois on faisait ses humanités.
