That’s a really good question spacenut… Professors are typically individuals who are internationally renowned for the research they conduct, and have a long list of publications in scientific journals. Like any other job, there are a series of criteria that professors would have to meet – have a look at some advertised posts and that would really help explain just what a professor would need to secure that position, and also help you understand a little more about what their job involves. Would you like to become one spacenut?
