关于套磁信称呼

小白来问一个很纠结的问题、
你要套的如果是一个associate prof. 的话，直接用Dear professor来称呼对方合适吗？Dear associate professor又感觉有一种嘲讽的意味……
所以最好使用哪种头衔来称呼对方？

Although there are countless ways to address a recipient professor, there is really only one recommended option: “Dear Dr. Neufeld,” with a comma.

"Get the person's title correct. Some teachers at a university go by "Professor",some by "Dr.", and some by "Mr.", "Mrs." or "Ms." If you get it wrong, the person will assume that you don't know the difference between the titles, or that you don't care. He or she may even be offended. By the way, "doctor" is the Latin word for "teacher". It is a term of respect given to people who have completed a doctorate degree, and one of the few perks of spending 8+ years in college!"

引用某一个教授的言论，但是似乎并没能解答你的问题

谢谢~看来Mr.比较稳妥

Simply say professor

associate professor一般都有 PhD degree的 这样的千万不能用Mr了 用Prof X可以 个人认为用Dr X更好些

Dr.或者Professor即可
Mr.是用来嘲讽木有phd学位的，比如说big bang里面的howard和我。。。。

Dr. 最好，有phd的都这样称呼，显得尊敬

我觉得是可以的。。

除非是community college 之类的学校，对那些能提供硕士博士学位学校的老师，不要用mr ms 之类。

"Professor" means "teacher" in the US context. You can also call them "Dr." because teachers in those universities always hold a PHD.
