Заранее спасибо

Я думаю: собственная профессорская деятельность (самолично начатая?), учрежденная профессорская деятельность.

я так понимаю, просьба касается этой статьи
Professor Ian Mcdonald
Ambassador for British neurology
Published: 19 December 2006
... Already appointed as consultant neurologist to the National Hospital, Queen Square, in 1966, and to Moorfields Eye Hospital on his return from Boston in 1969, McDonald held a personal professorship at London University from 1974 to 1995. He understood better than others the contributions of his close friend Professor Roger Gilliatt, foundation professor of neurology at London University and chairman of the department at Queen Square from 1962. Many expected the established professorship of neurology at the Institute of Neurology to transfer "down the corridor" to McDonald on Gilliatt's retirement in 1987, but not until 1995 - and after the deaths of Gilliatt's two immediate successors, Professors David Marsden and Anita Harding - was McDonald appointed, and then for only a short period before his own retirement.

wild guess based on the following:
Personal professors can determine the direction of their own research and direct PhD students. Bliek: `The difference with ordinary professors is that they operate under the wings of an existing research chair. They do not have a lab of their own and therefore do not need to concern themselves with the management and financing of that lab. They get more scientific breathing space.'

м.б. что-то схожее с нашим младшим научным сотрудником или преподавателем университета.
