catedrático (profesor) Bing / máximo catedrático / académico de honor


Explanation:
"Professor Bing" es una distinción aplicable en Estados Unidos de Norte América que reconoce el nivel máximo de excelencia académca dentro de un determinado claustro universitario. Es un "premio" fundado por una donación de Peter y Helen Bing que asigna, durante tres años, una determinada suma de dinero al profesor y al departamente al cual pertence. Parte de este dinero puede utilizarse libremente y parte debe aplicarse al mejoramiento de la enseñanza.

He principio creo que no debe traducirse y así aparece en la mayor parte de las referencias en español: "xxx, Profesor Bing de yyyy".

No obstante reconozco que la expresión "Profesor Bing" resulta bastante extraña y poco significativa afuera de Estados Unidos. Dependiendo del tipo trabajo de traducción, considero que el traductor poede tomarse la licancia de explicar de algún modo el significado.

De acuerdo al país audiencia, veo como posibilidades:
Catedrático "Bing" donde catedrático implica la autoridad máxima de una determinada cátedra universitaria.
Máximo Catedrático (Premio Bing)
Académico de Honor (Distinción Bing)
o alguna otra cambinación / explicación aplicable.
