Univ. instructor (4)

I believe the answer is:

prof

(Other definitions for prof that I've seen before include "Top academic (informal)" , "Academic briefly" , "High-ranking university academic (abbr)" , "teacher" , "head of dept at uni" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the New York Times and the USA Today.
