Definition
系主任 means 'department head' in a college or university setting. Note that 系 in this compound is read as xì (department), not jì (to tie), though the pinyin field above shows 'jì' — this appears to be a data error. The word is a straightforward noun for the administrative role.
n.
head of a department (in a college or university)
