full professor


Explanation:
se significa "Profesor titular". "Interino" es provisional, temporary, interim. It seems to me, that the talk is about so-called "invited" professors and lectures for a contractually specified period of time from other universities and colleges of the country, i.e. España, as well as from other states.
Espero que le ayude un poquito.
¡Buena suerte, Blanca Rodríguez!

Try google with full professor, adding \"interim/ intern/ provisional/ temporary\" consequently. That might work.

Associate Professor


Explanation:
(non-tenure track)

This is what my husband was for 3 years. He is from Spain and in English this position on his resume reads "Associate Professor". In Spanish it reads "Profesor Titular Interino"

Acting full Professor, perhaps Acting Chairman


Explanation:
I think it makes more sense to refer to the Acting Chairman. He might be replacing the Chairman, who is on sabbatical leave for a year, for example.

non-sinecured professor or lecturer


Explanation:
In Spain, a Full Professor is a "Catedrático" (Chair-holder). Assistant Profesors are "Profesores". Instructors are "Ayudantes de Cátedra", and are the ones who do the real hard work of teaching aspiring youth. There are several variations of this hierarchical and functional order, but that remains basically the system.

Now, on continental Western Europe --- owing to a not-extint feudal traditon and to the present-day methods of keeping the lid tighly on the social presure cooker, ALL jobs are considered lifetime employment de-juri. Recently and to alleviate the damaging labor situation somewhat (not enough, as you will see in coming years), Europe has tried to have just plain regular jobs, where people don't remain come hell or high water.

In the University, many of the teaching positions have always been filled by Instructors, or "profesores ayudantes de Cátedra. Until recently, even instructors initially came in on a lifeteime tenure, even though many never got promoted nor were interested in promotion (but could and can ask for and obtain, as all government employees could and can, leaves of absence, lasting decades if they wished). Now, they have "profesores interinos", comparable to just plain lecturers or instructors in the US. And they can be dismissed without much fear of a drawn-out process in anti-employer kangaroo courts called "Labor Magistratures".

I call interim teachers "non-tenured professors" to avoid the words "interim" (which they hate to hear) or "lecturer" or "instructor", because I do many translations under their supervision and they don't like my calling them such lowly names in front of everybody, even if in a language different from traditional Spanish.
