Profesor de Facultad. Thanks in advance!! :o)

Local time: 23:43
assistant professor, 4th degree
Explanation:
Apparently, there no exact equivalent of “profesor agregado”.

In the academic rank structure in the Central University of Venezuela, the “profesor agregado” is a degree/rank between “profesor asistente” (assistant professor) and “profesor asociado” (associate professor).

Maybe “assistant professor, 4th degree” is an approximate equivalent.

Best wishes,
Manuel

I also found \"Visiting Lecturer\" for Profesor Agregado (in the Glossary/Translation Feature of Microsoft Office Program) but I think Assistant Professor is a better choice

Associate Professor (4th year)


Explanation:
This is what I would intuitively assume.
I thing "Assistant Professor" would be "Profesor Asistente".

(Also, I am thinking that a 4th year course at university level is more likely to be taught by an associate rather than assistant professor although that's far from certain.)

Oxford Dictionary

profesor agregado, profesora agregada m, f agregado2 2
profesor asociado, profesora asociada m, f part-time professor (AmE) o (BrE) lecturer


A \"part-time professor\" or \"instructor\" is an adjunct instructor.

It is not \"Assistant Professor\" - I was an Assistant Professor for 11 years: 1 and 1/2 years at Lousiana State University in Baton Rouge, for 6 and 1/2 years at the University of Miami, and for 3 years at Miami Dade College, and in all cases I was a full-time instructor.
