| Mar 28 at 8:42 | comment | added | Benjy Strauss | Hypothetically: trouble finding a suitable advisor, with some financial reasons. (But mostly the former). Keep in mind this is strictly hypothetical. | |
| Mar 28 at 3:57 | comment | added | Allure | Just curious, why might you be ABD (which I understand as "all but dissertation"), but not be able to complete the PhD? | |

| Mar 27 at 20:56 | comment | added | Ivan Nepomnyashchikh | Since it is not a direct answer to your question, I am posting it as a comment. In the USA, try checking out job postings titled "professor of practice". Sometimes, the minimum requirements for such positions assume master's degree. For instance, my department has recently posted such a job opening. My department, however, is not related to CS. | |

| Mar 26 at 22:32 | comment | added | Cameron Williams | @BenjyStrauss Typically not from adjunct, but I know people who got promoted from full time instructor to assistant professor. | |
| Mar 26 at 21:20 | comment | added | Daniel Hatton | I think that would be a matter for individual universities/departments, rather than for countries. | |

| Mar 26 at 20:31 | comment | added | Benjy Strauss | @cag51: I'm talking about what's practically possible, not theoretically. I edited the question to make that more clear. And yes, I'm wondering about places outside of North America/Europe. | |

| Mar 26 at 10:59 | comment | added | Peter Flom | I don't think it's country dependent, I think it's university dependent. Also, it depends on other qualifications. E.g. there is no law in the USA that you have to have a PhD to be a professor (of any rank). I have had professors who did not have PhDs. | |
| Mar 26 at 10:11 | comment | added | avid | Not exactly the question you asked, but: some universities may be quite happy to hire someone who has a Masters and substantial relevant industry experience. (Especially if a department sees itself as focussing on 'training students to go into industry' rather than 'academic study for the sake of study'!) | |
| Mar 26 at 7:03 | comment | added | Stephan Kolassa | If you get an answer here, be sure you understand what the terms university and tenure mean in those systems. Places that don't require a Ph.D. for Assistant Professors may have different ideas about those concepts too. I am not saying "worse", just "different". | |
| Mar 26 at 6:00 | comment | added | Cameron Williams | Not to mention that some people get promoted from lower positions to assistant professor after being at their institution for a while. | |
| Mar 26 at 5:20 | comment | added | cag51♦ | Are you asking about the "trivia" of what's theoretically possible, i.e., no law against hiring non-PhDs as tenure-track professors? Or are you asking about places where this is a realistic option? Either way, such questions are tricky because it's hard to prove a negative, and also because most of our user base is only familiar with North American and European academia. | |
