professorship

Tenured faculty position

A professorship is the position or office of a professor at a college or university.

It often refers specifically to an endowed or named chair: She was appointed to the Hamilton Professorship of Economics.

The term emphasizes the formal academic rank rather than the teaching itself: He held the professorship for thirty years before retiring.
