被匹兹堡录取了EE Master 但是录取教授是一个research professor，不知道会不会有什么影响?他和普通的professor除了不上课还有什么区别？

wikipedia的定义：

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.

谢谢回复 但是想知道对于读研究生来说 research professor相比于正常教授副教授或AP 作为导师有什么缺点或影响吗？

没什么影响，只要导师有funding就都一样的。
