agree  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: Although if needs must for clarification, Andy's suggestion is not bad too. What do you reckon?//Oh, you can be senior in terms of qualification and experience. It's not related to age in these contexts.

  -> Not sure about "senior" as there are young professors with the agrégation but who have not done a lot of teaching.

It is quite difficult to translate in a satisfactory manner, as Allan suggests.

In my translation, senior is supposed to go with the qualified. Perhaps agrégation (italics) qualified teaching professional?
