At least in the US, an "associate professor" is already tenured -- you don't have to be a full professor to be tenured -- you just have to get out of the assistant professor stage. There are of course non-tenure track positions such as "adjunct professors" which are generally hired on a year to year (or even semester to semester) basis.

- jasonfarnon 5y agoIt depends on the university. Even in the same university (eg Stanford) it is possible to have associate professors with and without tenure, depending on department/school.
