From Oxford SuperLex, for "adscripto:
adscripto2 -ta m, f (RPl) (en Arg) graduate student who also
teaches in the department; (en Ur) person who carries out
certain administrative tasks in a secondary school
cátedra f (en la universidad) professorship, chair;
[Note: in the US, this is equivalent to a **full** professorship--the top rank for university instructors]
catedrático:
Again, this is either a "full professor" or someone who has been named to a funded "chaired professorship": a chaired professor.
Here are a few examples of "chaired professor" I picked up using Google (Google found 1,200 sites with the term):

The confusing part about translating the Spanish term is that a cátedra/catedrático falls about halfway between the two meanings in English: someone whose rank is "catédratico" occupies a chair, **but** the chair is not specially funded, the way such chairs are in our own university system. My recommendation is that you go with "full professor" unless the "cátedra" actually has a name attached to it.
