This is from a technical paper footnote on the author's background. My question is how to translate "大学" here. Does this mean he is a researcher at a university, or that he attended university, or that he has a degree...?
Literally, it is "researcher, university, primarily engaged in..."
Thanks in advance for your help.

University Researcher
Difficult to say without seeing the rest of the text, but in the context that you have described, it is likely that this is the description for his role as a researcher, with the work being done at a university, and his main roles being [rest of the text].

大学 is "university/college degree"
It reads like the bio of the author of the paper.
研究员 should be "professor" or "research staff". I believe that now China runs the same system as the US (not the British system anymore), namely,
助理研究员 - assistant professor
副研究员 - associate professor
(正)研究员 - (full) professor
The whole thing seems to be:
Title, Education (degree), Research Area(s) (职称，学位，研究领域)
