Professor with full tenure // Full professor
Explanation:
And FYI:

Full Professor:

In the US, the highest rank a college professor achieves, that generally includes tenure. Usually achieved after several years of teaching, the publication of several books and articles, and recognition of achievement by one's peers in the field.

Lecturer:

At most schools, a lecturer is different from a full professor in that the lecturer may not have received an advanced or terminal degree, but has demonstrated a high level in-the-field or hands-on expertise. Ex: a very successful stock investor could be hired by a university to be a lecturer on the stock market.

Associate Professor:

Commonly, the rank of a full-time faculty member who has earned tenure in his/her department.

Assistant Professor:

Commonly, the rank of a junior faculty member who has earned the Ph.D. but has not yet gotten tenure.

Teacher's Assistant:

Somebody who helps the professor teach the class. This person is usually a graduate or doctoral student studying at the university, but sometimes can be an undergraduate student majoring in that field of study. The TA may hold recitations that review the course material, grade tests and papers, and be more available to talk about your views on and difficulties with the class.

Cheers!
