1. Professor is not equal to PhD supervisor.
2. The category of professor and doctoral supervisor:
(1) Professor is a profession, a senior teacher and researcher who teaches in a university or community college, and professor is the highest level of university teacher position.
(2) Doctoral supervisor, that is, doctoral tutor, is a unique professional title in China, which plays a role in cultivating doctoral students in the higher education system (universities and research institutes). General tutors have obtained the title of professor (researcher). With the reform, excellent associate professors in some fields in some key universities have also been awarded the qualification of doctoral supervisors.
3. Different responsibilities:
(1) Professors' job is to offer courses in the fields they are good at, or to give students professional training, such as science and literature. In addition, professors must also deepen their own specialized disciplines, obtain business cooperation opportunities by publishing papers (including government scientific consultants or business inventions, etc.), and train their students to have enough ability to compete with them in the future.
(2) Doctoral supervision is mainly based on the orientation of doctoral students' learning. The main job of doctoral supervisors is not to offer several courses for students, but to guide students' learning. In other words, the tutor's main job is not to "teach" but to "guide".
4. The emphasis of teaching is different:
(1) The balance between the four directions of teaching, training, submitting papers and seeking business cooperation depends on the school, place (country) and time. For example, in the top universities in Europe and America, the university attaches great importance to professors who specialize in a single field, and often regards them as the publicity focus of the school.
(2) The degree of freedom in teaching is relatively high.
4. To sum up, a professor is not necessarily a doctoral supervisor, but a doctoral supervisor must be a professor.
Extended information:
1. Specific requirements for doctoral supervisors:
(1) No less than 8 papers have been published in core journals at home and abroad in the past five years.
(The first author or graduate student supervised by me is the first author) or academic monographs have been officially published. The published papers or monographs have been cited by peers for many times or won the second prize at the provincial and ministerial levels.
(2) At present, he has undertaken key scientific research projects or key research projects at the national or ministerial (provincial) level, and is responsible for the projects of the National Natural Science Foundation or other research projects with important value, and the funds under research are not less than 3, yuan (individual basic research projects are not less than 15, yuan).
(3) In the past five years, at least five papers have been published in core journals at home and abroad (the first author or graduate students under my guidance are the first author), or academic monographs have been officially published, or papers or monographs with important technical achievements have been repeatedly cited by peers or won second prizes at the provincial and ministerial levels, and have been registered with two provincial or national achievements or two invention patents (authorizations).

2. The main job of doctoral tutor:
According to the orientation of doctoral study, the main job of doctoral tutor is not to offer several courses for students, but to guide students to learn. In other words, the tutor's main job is not to "teach" but to "guide".
(1) guide students to be familiar with the basic theoretical knowledge and methods in this discipline or related fields.
Basic theoretical knowledge and methods in this discipline or related fields, which is a prerequisite for entering doctoral study and research. Because of the differences of doctoral students' academic background and academic level, it is extremely important to guide students to be familiar with the basic theoretical knowledge and methods of their own disciplines or related disciplines. Without a basic understanding of the research situation in this discipline and related fields, unfamiliar with the academic norms of this discipline, and unable to use the basic theories and methods of this discipline and related disciplines to raise and solve problems, there will be no scientific basis for doctoral students' study and research.
(2) guide students to carry out creative learning and improve their research ability.
the main way to guide students to be familiar with the basic theoretical knowledge and methods in this discipline or related fields is to guide students to carry out creative learning, closely combine reading, thinking and research, and constantly improve their research ability, academic taste and research level.
