German term
Prim. Assoc. Prof. (Priv. Doz.) Dr.
German to English
Medical
Medical (general)
The title of the head of a clinical department in an Austrian university hospital.
I have put (Priv. Doz.) in brackets since I know this is Private Lecturer.
I am not sure why the head of the department (Prim.) should be an 'Assoc.' (Associate) professor, unless it means Associate in the sense of sharing responsibility with all the other department heads?
Many thanks in advance.

Kommentar In der Tat gibt es im Engl nichts Vergleichbares, da es die Habilitation nur in deutschsprachigen Ländern gibt.
Privatdozenten kann man als private lecturer bezeichnen, ich bevorzuge aber den "private reader" da der (selten gewordene) "reader" an engl. Unis gegenüber dem lecturer die herausgehobenere Position darstellt. Ohne Allgemeingültigkeit zu beanspruchen: Die Hierarchie ist in etwa: Junior lecturer, lecturer, senior lecturer, reader, professor. Der "full professor" ist in dem Sinne kein "Titel", bezeichnet aber den Lehrstuhlinhaber. "Professor McInnes holds the chair of pataphysics at the univerrsity of Redbrick."

Note from asker:
Many thanks for this comprehensive answer Johannes. Since we don´t use ´Primarius´in English to describe professors. I think I will use´Prof´with an explanation of the various German abbreviations. |
4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer.
Comment: "I am selecting this answer as the most helpful, although for my actual text I agreed with the previous Kudoz answer Lancashireman referred me to (i.e. just putting 'Prof' in the text in question, and I was then advised by a proofreader familiar with the client that I shouldn't bother with a footnote referring to the qualifications either - but a rather specific case I admit."
Discussion
Assoc. Prof. is as close as it gets as Privatdozent has academic responsibilities ( in this case I addition to being the chair). Perhaps he lectures in an teaching hospital.
But Austrian titles are just like Serbian swearwords -- you just can't top them. They are out-of-this-world intense.
However, have a look here:
