If you have the name of the university, try checking it\'s website - they may have an official name in English. I recently needed FAM (Fachgruppe für Angewandte Mechanik) at Paderborn University and they call themselves \"Institute of Applied Engineering\" although they are part of the engineering department
But within a university, most people refer to e.g. the chemistry department rather than the chemistry institute.

professorship
This is your safest bet without further information. A professorship can be any rank above that of instructor including the chairperson of a department, the dean of a faculty, or the director of a privately funded institute within a university.
This is how the word Lehrstuhl would be translated in the United States, Japan, and Hong Kong, the countries on the other side of the Atlantic with which I am most familiar.
