French term or phrase: professeur de classe exceptionnelle
Am stuck as regards what this actually is.
Interniste et cardiologue, chef de service au CHU XXX depuis 1979, professeur titulaire depuis 1981 et professeur à la classe exceptionnelle depuis 1997, YYY eut une carrière scientifique brillante matérialisée par près de 500 publications, ce qui lui a valu l’estime de ses pairs et le privilège d’exercer les fonctions de vice-doyen de la faculté de medecine.

English translation:full professor (USA)
Explanation:
If you are translating for a US audience, this is a good translation. A university professor is usually promoted from the rank of assistant professor to that of associate professor upon receiving tenure (titularisation). The highest rank possible is full professor, and requires exceptional abilities and performance. If it's for UK consumption, you might need something else.

senior fellow (UK)


Explanation:
There are senior teaching fellows and senior research fellows in the UK, but it looks as if this person has excelled at both, so perhaps simply using "senior fellow" would be best.
