The author's reply Hi. I have taken your advice to ask the author - the translation will be "Full time assistant professor". Thanks for all the suggestions!
Richard Boulter Nov 12, 2009:
Consultation with the author I agree with both answers below, according to 1- the context and what appears to be an incomplete, predictable, common expression; and 2- the text as presented in the source. In this case, consulting with the writer is the safest course, since the two interpretations are exact opposites and an error is crucial to the effect of the reference for your client.
Joss Heywood Nov 11, 2009:
so I guess it must be a mistake - you'll have to ask the author
Fiona Hale (asker) Nov 11, 2009:
Hi Oxana. Thanks - actually, it is just "profesora de tiempo" - very clearly with a full stop at the end. Any further thoughts?

This seems most appropriate to the context, and has since been confirmed by client consultation. :)
