Full member of the National Academy of Medicine. The definition that applies is #2 of "numerario" in the RAE http://buscon.rae.es/draeI/SrvltGUIBusUsual
"Dicho de una persona: Incorporada con carácter fijo al conjunto de quienes componen un cuerpo determinado."

The purpose of academic tenure is to promote and protect the academic freedom of the faculty of a school. It also assists in attracting and retaining faculty members of high quality. Academic tenure refers to the conditions and guarantees that apply to a faculty member's employment, in particular the protection from involuntary discharge from, or termination of, employment.

I have come across “catedrático/profesor/académico númerario and “académico correspondiente”.

This "númerario" business is bothering me...not all members are "númerarios" in certain areas, e.g.

It does seem that "númerario" has the meaning of "permanent".

Well,

To me "Academic" is somebody who studies to a high level, i.e. has connotations of somebody studying at University.

Personally, I have never actually used or come across the word "Academician", but it certainly does exist, and is used for those in the upper échelons, so it seems!

So, the latter seems to be the one you need.

"Academician" is certainly grandiose and fulfils the criteria for your translation.

"Permanent", too, if you think this is OK.

I am wondering whether "permanent" is necessary now..
