Notes to answerer
Asker: Veo que el término es complicado de traducir, ante la variedad de respuestas ingresé al sitio web de la facultad y ya hay un "dean" (decano), que no es la persona que firma la nota que yo tengo.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  María Eugenia Wachtendorff: "Catedrático" is the head of a university department, a professor. A Faculty is divided into departments, and the Faculty Chair is the "Decano" or "Director" (e.g., Decano de la Facultad de Odontologia)
1 hr
agree  Virginia Koolhaas: Me parece que "catedrático" es correcto ya que (al menos en Uruguay, y supongo que también en Argentina) es el máximo grado dentro de una "cátedra" (= materia), NO dentro de la facultado como dice Ma. Eugenia
