endowed chair professor
full professor
associate professor
assistant professor

In most public U, being promoted to associate prof will be accompanied by tenure. But in some private U, only full professors are tenured.

There are nontenured full professors too.

Between tenure track and nontenure track (research track), there is no big difference except that nontenure track professor has to be evaluated regularly, and has no voting power. Nontenure track professors works harder than tenure track because they have to support themselves, and get on tenure track somewhere else.

But in some fields, almost all professors are tenured or on tenure track, while in many research intensive fields, they are a lot of non tenure track professors. It is because there are not so many positions.
