O POSTO DELA É MAJOR
O GRAU DELA É MAJOR

o jeito mais correto é posto grau eu nunca vi sendo usado
o posto dele ou dela e major

Pode usar a palavra "patente". Her rank is Major = Sua patente é de Major = A patente dela é de Major.

No contexto militar, "Ele detém o posto de major no Exército" é mais usado. Apesar de não prejudicar a compreensão em si, a palavra "grau" não é muito utilizada nesta situação específica.
Espero ter ajudado.
