Estoy traduciendo una constancia para un profesor jubilado de la Universidad Simón Bolívar (Caracas, Venezuela) que dice:
"Quien suscribe, Directora de Gestión de Capital Humano de la Universidad SImón Bolívar, hace constar que el ciudadano [nombre], de nacionalidad venezolana, titular de la cédula de identidad No. xxx, **es personal académico jubilado vitalicio** desde el [fecha], habiendo ingresado a la institución el [fecha] con una jubilación mensual de BsF [monto]. Adicionalmente, recibe los siguientes beneficios..."
Hasta los momentos he colocado "is a retired member of the academic staff", pero en este momento no se me ocurre dónde colocar lo de vitalicio.
Mil gracias por adelantado por su ayuda

is a permanently retired member of academic staff
I don't think "vitalicio" goes with "personal académico"; I think it goes with "jubilado". The status of "jubilado" is vitalicio; in other words, the retirement is permanent.
I have been wondering whether "vitalicio" might have another meaning: retired with lifelong pension rights. There are numerous references in Venezuela to the fact that jubilación in the public sector is a "derecho adquirido vitalicio", which in practice means that the associated benefits are for life. This, for example, is from a USB document:
"Que la jubilación constituye un derecho adquirido vitalicio e intransmisible por acto entre vivos que corresponde a los miembros del Personal Académico, Administrativo y Técnico de la Universidad Simón Bolívar"
http://sistema.cenda.usb.ve/gacetas/3590/ver
After all, "jubilación" means both retirement and pension (see just below this "con una jubilación mensual de BsF ...". However, I am doubtful whether "vitalicio" has this meaning here. "Permanently retired", retired for the rest of the person's life, seems a more natural reading.
Venezuelan academics often seem to take retirement relatively earlier to make room for the younger generations, but they can be re-employed on a fixed-term basis so that the university benefits from their experience.

Since the lifelong nature of academic retirement benefits is automatic in Venezuela, it seems redundant if that is the meaning. I think it's more likely that this person is retired by currently re-employed by the university, and "vitalicio" is there to make it clear that the person has not come out of retirement, but is employed as a retired person.

: In reality, very few remain active academics after retirement// I understand what you mean; but it seems to me not credible

Lifelong = working life. The person is now retired.
