Senior Professor, Department of Hygene/Health
Explanation:
If the translation is for an American audience, I'd go with Health, British or other European "Hygene." I googled numerous hits for Department of Hygene in Italy, Greece, etc..

Thanks. It's difficult - everybody contributed something. I think I'll go with "hygiene" and "senior lecturer". I don't know about America, but in England, a professor is the head of the department, and there won't be anyone senior to him/her. I believe in US the word doesn't hold as much weight.

agree  Alexander Demyanov: Senior Lecturer. At least in the US, "senior professor" is a position at least 2 steps above "старший преподаватель".

Explanation:
You have in England this kind of Science
in *London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine*, but I looked through their site and I am not really sure that it will be the same as they meant in this CV. My guess that it will be the following: Department of Social Medicine,
