被匹茲堡錄取了EE Master 但是錄取教授是一個research professor，不知道會不會有什么影響?他和普通的professor除了不上課還有什么區(qū)別？

wikipedia的定義：

In a number of countries, the title research professor refers to a professor who is exclusively or mainly engaged in research, and who has few or no teaching obligations. For example, the title is used in this sense in the United Kingdom (where it is known as research professor at some universities and professorial research fellow at some other institutions) and in northern Europe.

Research professor is usually the most senior rank of a research-focused career pathway in those countries, and regarded as equal to the ordinary full professor rank. Most often they are permanent employees, and the position is often held by particularly distinguished scholars; thus the position is often seen as more prestigious than an ordinary full professorship.

The title is used in a somewhat similar sense in the United States, with the exception that research professors in the United States are often not permanent employees and often must fund their salary from external sources, which is usually not the case elsewhere.

謝謝回復(fù) 但是想知道對于讀研究生來說 research professor相比于正常教授副教授或AP 作為導(dǎo)師有什么缺點或影響嗎？

沒什么影響，只要導(dǎo)師有funding就都一樣的。
