Spanish to English

Education / Pedagogy
Could anybody enlighted on the translation of "académico". This is a letter from Chile and I am not sure if this is referring to an "Academician" or simply a "Profesor" . This extract comes from a letter written by a Profesor about his student.

I am a lecturer (an academic) in Human Anatomy
I think lecturer is the safest choice (in AUS and UK) if you do not whether this person is a Professor, Associate Professor, etc

An academic may not necessarily teach (he/she may be devoted completely to research and supervision) but if this person teaches... I would then go for "lecturer"

I think you could just use academic i.e. "I am an academic in the area of......"
