Academic ranks in the United States

although some teaching may be involved (albeit usually not with ultimate course responsibility). A
common list of such positions is as follows (many of which often entail various ranking systems –
e.g. numbered ranks, adjectives like "intermediate" or "senior," etc.).
Research Associate (general)
Research Scientist (natural or social sciences)
Research Engineer (engineering)
Research Scholar (humanities)
Research Technician (general)
Research Assistant (general)
Postdoctoral Fellow / Research Associate (general)
Teaching assistants (TAs) are known by various related terms and are typically graduate students
who have varying levels of responsibility. A typical undergraduate class, for example, comprises
lecture and small-group recitation/discussion sessions, with a faculty member giving the lecture,
and TAs leading the small-group sessions; in other cases, the teaching of an entire class may be
entrusted to a graduate student. (See generally A Handbook for Mathematics Teaching Assistants
(http://www.maa.org/programs/tahandbook.html), published by the Mathematical Association of
America.)
Ecclesiastical seminaries and churches often grant the titles Doctor of Divinity (D.D.), Doctor of
Metaphysics  (Dr. mph.) or Doctor of Religious Science  (Dr. sc. rel.), most commonly to
meritorious clerics for an outstanding work or another achievement in the field of religious and
biblical studies.

At some universities, librarians have a rank structure parallel to that of tenure-track faculty
(Assistant Librarian, Associate Librarian, Librarian). Some senior librarians, and often the head
librarian, may have faculty or faculty-equivalent rank.
Chancellor or President
Provost (sometimes called "Chancellor", or "President" or "Warden")
Vice Provost
Associate Provost
Assistant Provost (assists the Provost, as do any associates; not superior to vice presidents)
Vice-Chancellors or Vice Presidents (of Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, Finance, etc.)
Associate Vice-Chancellor or Associate Vice President
Assistant Vice-Chancellor or Assistant Vice President
