Traditionally, Assistant Professor has been the usual entry-level rank for faculty who hold doctorates, although this depends on the institution and the field. While Instructorships seldom require a doctorate, competition for jobs has led to an increase in the number of Instructors who hold PhDs or other terminal degrees. The rank of Associate Professor usually indicates that the individual has been granted tenure at the institution. Professor is often the highest rank attained by a senior faculty member, although some institutions may offer some unique title to a senior faculty member whose research or publications have achieved wide recognition. This is most often a "named chair": for example, the "John Doe Professor of Philosophy". Large research universities also offer a small fraction of tenured faculty the title of "Distinguished Professor" to recognize outstanding and broad contributions to the advancement of a field of study. The most prestigious academic appointment is the University or Institute Professor. Such faculty members are not usually answerable to deans or department heads and may directly report to the University Provost.

по поводу ученой степени (из энциклопедии):
УЧЕНАЯ СТЕПЕНЬ научная квалификация в определенной отрасли знания. Как правило присуждается после соответствующих этапов обучения в вузе или по завершении образования в его исследовательском (напр., аспирантском) подразделении и публичной защиты специальной научной работы. В университетах России единые правила присуждения ученой степени магистра и доктора действовали в 1819-1917. В 1937 в СССР были установлены степени кандидата и доктора наук. С 1992 в Российской Федерации вводится принятая во многих странах мира система ученых степеней: бакалавра, магистра, доктора (ок. 20 отраслей).

title of professor/ became a professor

Explanation:
"title" is more accurate, since "Rank" tends to apply more to the army than the academia. If translating word-for-word, I'd use "title of professor", but "became a professor" sounds more correct in English
