Jul 10, 2013 at 22:19 | comment | added | Bill Nace | Incorrect! I am an Assistant Professor at a top-tier US university. I am often referred to as "Professor." I go to conferences and university events where my name tag has me listed as "Professor." It's shorthand. User7691 has the correct answer. | |
Jul 10, 2013 at 18:20 | comment | added | JeffE | This is incorrect. Someone in the US calling themselves "Professor Charles Xavier", even in official email or on an official university website, is not necessarily a full professor. Even the sentence "I am a professor of Mutant Studies" doesn't necessarily mean that the author is a full professor. "Charles Xavier, Professor of Mutant Studies" does imply that Dr. Xavier is a full professor, but it does not imply that Dr. Xavier has tenure. | |
