How do colleges deal with people who want a term faculty appointment, Professor Seashore asked? This will have to be dealt with, Dr. Carrier said. That is why the Joint Committee wanted the system centralized, the same across units, so it would not be a college responsibility, Professor Bales said. It proposed titles such as Teaching Professor and Research Professor as a way to hire and retain such individuals.

I used Professor and Research professor as I agree with Allan that Teaching Professor seems rather repetitive. Thank you very much for your help

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  João Neto (X): That's how I'd put it.
1 min
  -> cheers João
agree  David Sirett: probably OK for US target, UK would need something else, as US assistant and associate professors are lecturers of various grades in the UK.
15 mins
  -> cheers David, indeed, it could be a research fellow and a lecturer, the context and the speciality are so important in this instance
agree  tanglewood (X): I presume the context is university; the author clearly wants to distinguish between the two, so this is how I would translate the two terms, too.
18 mins
  -> most likely, but even at university level, it could depend on the field of studies
agree  Sophie Raimondo

Explanation:
In this case Suezen I think "professeur" refers to status rather than function. You need a PhD to be a Prof at university.
"professeur-enseignant" would otherwise be something of an overkill!

In fact there are three possibilities:
a lecturer (just teaches)
a researcher (does research full-time)
a lecturer/researcher (does both - he/she has a light teaching load and spends a lot of time furthering his/her research project)
